• The intended target audience is identified, including the level of the activity i.e. entry-level, experienced, advanced practice
• The CPD activity is defined by a statement of specific learning outcomes
• Content is based on critical evaluation of relevant literature and/or evidence-based practice
• Conflicts of interest are disclosed

Delivery

• The CPD activity is facilitated by persons with relevant experience and/or qualifications that exceed the content level of the activity
• Methods of delivery are based on principles of adult learning
• Instructional materials are of an appropriate technical quality, current in content, include references and are dated
• Learning is either monitored or assessed to determine if learning outcomes are achieved

Evaluation

• Participants are given the opportunity to participate in evaluation and feedback of the activity
