The IIMS CPD (Continuing Professional Development) is required for all IIMS members and the IIMS Management Board agreed the roll out of the new programme starting January 2017.

The new IIMS CPD scheme is based on one calendar year, in other words from January to December 2017 and so on. A member’s CPD account is now set to zero and any existing points are lost. The aim now is to acquire 10 CPD points in this and subsequent calendar years to keep up to date. The activities for how a member can claim points are slightly amended, but it is the administration of how to do it that alters significantly.
