Abstract
All registered nurses and midwives are required to take part in continuing professional development (CPD) in order to maintain their professional registration (NMC, 2004). This is part of the post-registration education and practice (PREP) requirements (NMC, 2004). In addition to this, the NMC (2006) stated that nurse and midwife prescribers have to undertake CPD within their own area of prescribing practice. This article considers the CPD requirements for nurse prescribers under three sections: personal responsibility; accessing CPD; and employer's responsibility. Tools to help identify your own learning needs are discussed and some useful competency frameworks are identified, both of which will assist in identifying and planning your CPD requirements.
