As a part of the NHS modernisation agenda to ensure high quality clinical care, podiatrists are required to demonstrate evidence of continuing professional development to maintain registration. This study aimed to investigate the experiences of podiatrists in response to the CPD process. It explored the effectiveness of the portfolio in recording CPD, resource as a limiting factor in CPD engagement and the linking of competence with re-registration.
