Continuing Professional Development

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a mandatory requirement for IHM members. All IHM sponsored events assist in meeting this requirement. CPD certificates of attendance will be provided on request to all participants for inclusion in their CV portfolios.

In addition, IHM provide a range of CPD modules, e-learning elements and Milestones to develop managers’ generic skills and competencies.

e-learning elements

The e-learning elements have been developed to assist all managers in health and social care settings who have a need for some input and guidance around key development areas.

Elements currently available include Appraisal, Coaching For Managers, Managing Change, Managing Conflict, Managing Meetings, Mentoring, Presentation Skills Planning & Recruitment, Project Management, Purchasing & Contracts, Improving Your Effectiveness and Management Supervision

IHM Milestones

Milestones are accredited learning programmes based upon open learning materials which are focussed upon one discrete area of management practice and proposed development. They each represent in total about 50 hours of study and activity including the assessment time. We estimate this to take around six weeks from start to successful conclusion.

All current Milestones carry 5 general credits at Masters Level. This is equivalent to between a third and a quarter of the credits for a University Module at the same level. Milestone titles currently available are:

  • The Role of the Enterprise Manager
  • Making Information Work for You
  • Managing Service Delivery
  • Managing Service Quality
  • Making Information Work for You
  • Information flows and organisational structure
  • Managing Budgets
  • Costing
  • Emergency Preparedness and continuity planning
