CPD audit periods by profession

Every registered health and social care profession in Ireland needs at least 30 CPD credits in every 12-month period. What differs is the audit period: the months an audit looks back over, and the date the audit call begins. This table is the schedule on CORU's CPD Audit page, read on 28 September 2026.

"Not published" means the audit page listed no period for that profession on the read date. In the counter you can set your own period as a setting once your board announces one.

Using this in your own log

Choose your profession on your 12-month count and the counter splits your audit period into 12-month blocks, each needing 30 credits, and shows the rolling count over any 12 months. For how the two readings differ, read how the 30 credits in every 12 months rule works.
