CPD tracking for chartered physiotherapists
Maintain a strong CPD record for both CSP membership and HCPC registration. Track activities, document clinical competences, and be audit-ready at your two-year HCPC renewal.
No credit card required.
CSP CPD requirements explained
The CSP does not set a fixed CPD hours requirement for members. Instead, it promotes a competence-based approach aligned with HCPC standards. Physiotherapists must maintain an ongoing CPD record and demonstrate how their learning has benefited patients and service delivery.
CSP CPD at a glance
What happens in a CSP CPD audit?
As HCPC registrants, chartered physiotherapists are subject to the HCPC's 2.5% CPD audit at each two-year renewal cycle. If selected, you must submit a CPD profile demonstrating varied, relevant, and impactful CPD activity. The CSP encourages members to use its online CPD portfolio tools, but a well-maintained HourlyCPD record — with categorised activities, reflections, and a PDF export — meets the same standard.

CSP CPD — frequently asked questions
Does the CSP have its own CPD hours requirement separate from HCPC?
No — the CSP does not set a fixed hours requirement. It encourages members to follow a structured, reflective CPD approach aligned with HCPC standards. The HCPC's five CPD standards are the regulatory baseline for all chartered physiotherapists.
Do I need to submit my CPD records to the CSP?
You are not required to routinely submit CPD records to the CSP. However, the CSP may carry out membership reviews, and HCPC audits 2.5% of registrants at each renewal. Keeping thorough records means you are prepared for either eventuality.
What CPD activities does the CSP recognise?
The CSP recognises the same broad categories as HCPC: formal education, online learning, reading and research, clinical audit, peer review, case study analysis, teaching, shadowing, mentoring, and professional networking. The key is demonstrating relevance to your physiotherapy practice and the benefit to service users.
Can I use HourlyCPD if I also hold HCPC registration as a physiotherapist?
Yes — in fact, most chartered physiotherapists hold both CSP membership and HCPC registration. You can add both to your HourlyCPD account and log activities against one or both simultaneously, with each tracking its own renewal cycle independently.
