INTRODUCTION TO CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD) IN NUTRITIONAL THERAPY
The SAANT CPD scheme is a means of ensuring that all practitioners can demonstrate that they are:
- UP-TO-DATE with new knowledge
- FIT -TO-PRACTICE
The practitioner has a professional responsibility to continuing education in Nutritional Therapy in order to maintain competence, to enhance their capabilities and to underpin the standing of the profession in respect to the public, clients, other professions and official bodies.
CPD functions ultimately to maximise the well being of those people to whom the practitioner is professionally responsible. It can also benefit the practitioner by improving prospects for employment and promotion and by encouraging a ‘community of practice’.
The SAANT CPD scheme is mandatory for all SAANT practitioners and unless practitioners fulfill the requirements of CPD they could, as a last resort, be removed from the SAANT Register of Practitioners and would no longer qualify for provisional or professional membership.
The Role of SAANT CPD Committee
The SAANT CPD committee functions as a regulatory body to ensure that SAANT practitioners, many of whom work in isolation, maintain minimum competencies for safe and effective practice.
The CPD Committee is responsible for ensuring that SAANT practitioners are Up-To-Date and Fit-To-Practice by:
- Recording CPD credits
- Assessing the Practitioner’s Portfolio of Evidence
The CPD year is from 1 November to 31 October.
The Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) is to be submitted to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it by 31 October annually.
Practitioners will be notified by 30 November whether they have fulfilled the CPD requirements and are entitled to renew their Provisional or Professional Membership.
