Free CPD Record Template for UK Healthcare Professionals
A well-designed CPD record template captures everything your regulatory body needs to see: the activity title, type, provider, date, duration, points, reflection, and evidence. myCPD Tracker provides this template digitally — pre-built, validated, and auto-calculating — so you never need to design another spreadsheet or Word document again.
Key Features
- All required fields pre-built — Activity title, type, provider, date, duration, CPD points, learning objectives, reflection, and evidence upload — nothing gets missed.
- Guided reflection prompts — Structured prompts help you write a meaningful reflection that your appraiser will recognise as quality evidence of learning, not just a box-ticking exercise.
- Evidence upload included — Attach certificates or supporting documents directly to each record — no separate folder management or external storage needed.
- Auto-calculated CPD points — Enter the hours spent; myCPD Tracker converts them to CPD credits using your regulatory body's formula — automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
What fields should a CPD record template include?
A complete CPD record should capture: (1) activity title, (2) activity type such as formal course, conference, or peer review, (3) provider name, (4) date completed, (5) duration in hours and minutes, (6) CPD points or credits, (7) what you learned and how it links to your practice, and (8) evidence such as a certificate or attendance confirmation.
Do I need a different template for each regulatory body?
The core fields are similar across GMC, NMC, GDC, GPhC, HCPC, and GOC requirements. The main differences are in how points are calculated and what the minimum annual or revalidation-period target is. myCPD Tracker adjusts automatically based on your registered profession.
Can I download my CPD records as a PDF?
Yes. myCPD Tracker lets you export your entire CPD log — or a filtered selection — as a formatted PDF document. This is suitable for appraisal submission, personal records, or sharing with a professional body.
How much detail should my reflection include?
Your reflection should briefly explain what you learned, how that learning is relevant to your practice, and whether it changed anything you do clinically or professionally. Three to five sentences is usually sufficient for most regulators, though some specialties or professional bodies expect more depth.
Is the template really free to use?
Yes. myCPD Tracker is free for all UK healthcare professionals. You can log unlimited CPD entries and store up to 100 MB of evidence with no payment or subscription required.
