Healthcare CPD

At University of Staffordshire, we have delivered higher education opportunities for local, national, and international students for over 100 years. But we don’t just have a vested interest in the development of students, we also aim to project our expertise and provide opportunities for regional Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to get the training and research they need to push their teams and respective fields outside the limits of what’s considered possible.

Reach new horizons with Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programmes delivered as part of the Centre for Health Innovation and enhance your skills and career potential.

The Centre for Health Innovation is much more than just space and facilities. When you work with us, you’ll also have access to leading experts at one of the world’s top 250 young universities (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2020). Whether you’re a business owner, employee, entrepreneur, student or simply looking to get back into study, the Centre for Health Innovation has qualifications to suit all levels of learning.

We are led by your needs and goals and are here to help you on your CPD journey. CPD is an essential tool to maintain and enhance knowledge and skills, aid career progression, promote greater workforce engagement and build on learner confidence.
