There are many reasons to consider Postgraduate Professional Development (PPD) opportunities: positive career benefits, changes in career and promotion being among them. (PPD was formerly CPD: Continuing Professional Development).
Our Speech and Languages Sciences Section offers, in distance learning mode, The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists Return to Practice Distance Learning Course. This course offered since 2005 is aimed at speech and language therapists who have been out of practice for more than two years and wish to register with the Health Professions Council (HPC) as a Speech and Language Therapist.
