THE PRINCIPLE OF CROSS RECOGNITION OF CEUs

The HPCSA and HPCNA have accepted the principle of cross recognition of CEUs.

• "if a CPD activity has been accredited by an Accreditor for a specific Professional Board, all health care professionals may attend that activity if it is relevant to their specific scope of practice. Health professionals will therefore not need to apply for that activity to be re-accredited by their own Professional Board in order to claim the CEUs accrued for attending that activity". [HPCSA Ref. page 9 of CPD Guidelines for the Healthcare Professionals, January 2011]
• In addition, "Recognition of CEUs refers to the fact that if a CPD activity has been accredited by the HPCNA CPD Committee all health care professionals may attend that activity if it is relevant to their scope of practice". [HPCNA Ref. Page 5 CPD Guidelines for the Healthcare Professionals Revised 2011].
