CPD eLearning (formerly CPD Online) is a resource provided by the Royal College of Psychiatrists for mental health professionals, housed on our new eLearning Hub.
CPD eLearning offers a range of learning modules and podcasts that provide a flexible, interactive way of keeping up to date with progress in mental health. During the pandemic, there will be no limit on eLearning that can be counted for CPD; it will be possible for ALL 50 CREDITS to be obtained in this way. Access to the modules is through annual subscription, but we also offer a series of free modules and podcasts for you to trial first.
For more information, visit the CPD eLearning website.
BJPsych Advances and CPD eLearning work together to produce regular joint commissions to enhance learning for mental health professionals.

The menopause is a time of acute hormone fluctuations associated with diverse and sometimes disturbing psychological physical symptoms. The menopause itself is defined as 12 months after the last menstrual period or at an iatrogenic intervention (such as a hysterectomy). However, symptoms can present perimenopausally (before menstruation ends) or post-menopausally. It is imperative for mental health professionals to understand the impact of the perimenopause on the physical and mental health of their patients in order to provide high-quality, effective treatment.

Module Discharging risky patients: England and Wales
Discharging patients from an in-patient mental health ward, who are under a form of legal detention, should definitely be a cause for celebration. The pathway to discharge, however, is complex by nature, not least due to the number of agencies that need to be involved. This module aims to provide general adult and forensic psychiatrists with ideas about how to conduct a high-quality, safe and effective discharge from a mental health in-patient setting.
