Earn Your CPD Points and Enhance Patient Care
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the ongoing process of maintaining and advancing competence, skills, and knowledge. This continuous cycle is achieved through learner-centred and evidence-based activities. Completing CPD activities and earning CPD points, as required by professional bodies, helps promote and ensure effective, efficient, and ethical patient care by healthcare professionals (HCPs).
The NNIA offers workshops, seminars, CPD courses, webinars, training, tools, and peer-reviewed publications. CPD activities from the Nestlé Nutrition Institute Africa (NNIA) keep healthcare professionals (HCPs) updated with new research and advances in nutrition, benefiting patients across professions where nutrition care is practiced.
ABOUT OUR CPD ACTIVITIES
The NNIA CPD platform contains CPD activities in the form of scientific articles and webinars accompanied by multiple-choice questionnaires that are accredited for 2 or 3 CPD points each.
Members must obtain a minimum score of 70% to attain the allocated CPD points. To keep our NNIA members updated, regular alerts on upcoming CPD activities are sent via email.
The CPD activities are available online for their entire year of accreditation.
Healthcare professionals can complete our CPD activities until the 15th of December each year.
A CPD certificate is available immediately upon completion of an activity. Those registered with the HPCSA will have their points updated on the HPCSA portal regularly*. Members can view their NNIA CPD activities and points at any time on their NNIA profile.
*The NNIA sends an activity update to the HPCSA fortnightly
Non-HPCSA-accredited healthcare professionals are encouraged to enquire with their relevant professional bodies on whether HPCSA-accredited activities will be recognised for CPD points.
