"CORU, the Irish health regulator, has released updated standards of proficiency and continuing professional development (CPD) requirements for physiotherapists. The 2024 update clarifies mandatory CPD hours, documentation standards, and practice expectations. Physiotherapists must maintain a CPD portfolio with evidence of learning activities, reflective practice, and outcomes. The new standards emphasize patient safety, evidence-based practice, and professional development. Compliance is essential for registration renewal. The update aligns with European Union directives and best practice in healthcare regulation. Irish physiotherapists should review the new CORU guidelines to ensure their CPD activities meet the revised criteria."
