Guide for Manager

This guide summarises the CPD and revalidation framework that typically applies to Manager at NHS. Rules change; use official sources on the calculator for definitive requirements.

What applies to Manager?

As Manager at NHS, continuing professional development is usually governed by Employer and statutory training (non-regulated or supplementary). The summary below is taken from published guidance for NHS employer CPD. Always confirm current rules on the regulator's website and with your employer.

Key requirements for Manager

Many NHS roles follow trust or ICS policies: statutory and mandatory training, appraisal, and local continuing development programmes. If you are not on a statutory regulator register (or in addition to regulator rules), your employer sets expectations for training, competencies and appraisal. Professional bodies (e.g. for managers or support roles) may publish voluntary CPD frameworks; check any body you belong to.

What to use on this page

The calculator shows the framework that typically applies to Manager, bullet points from official sources, and links to read the full rules. Where numeric targets exist, you can track hours locally in your browser. Employer mandatory training, appraisal, professional body membership and any second registration sit alongside these requirements.
