Occupational therapists who have previously studied CPD modules or completed a stage of study have found this learning very beneficial in developing their role due to the strong grounding of the modules in their workplace setting. Studying at this level will enable you to demonstrate continued professional development essential to retain registration with the Health and Care Professions Council and facilitate development of the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary for career advancement in a range of practice areas.

On successful completion of either the PG Diploma level or the MSc in Advanced Occupational Therapy you can go on to study our Doctorate in Health and Social Care Practice (Occupational Therapy) to help you to become a clinical and professional leader in your profession.
