Post Qualification Framework - CPD Courses (Other)
We offer a range of courses to enable you to continue your professional development and achieve further qualifications in your field.
Post Qualification Framework
The Post Qualification Framework (PQF) provides a modular framework of learning and development for professional health and social care staff. Modules can be studied on a stand alone basis or as part of a post qualification award.
There are undergraduate and postgraduate modules available within the framework, so whatever stage your career is at, you should be able to find a course that's right for you.
The Framework has been set up in conjunction with the Northwest Strategic Health Authority, Local NHS Trusts and PCTs, Local Authorities, Edge Hill University, John Moores University, University of Chester and University of Liverpool. It promotes the principle of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) which is linked to work related learning through Personal Development Plans (PDPs) and maps directly onto the Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF).
