Non-verifiable CPD, and how to log it. You may be required to provide non-verifiable CPD as part of your registration, and this will depend on when you came off the register. Non-verifiable CPD is free, and it is the CPD dental nurses find most confusing, so we provide links to all of ours as part of this package, along with support on how to complete your log sheet.
