What can’t I use for CPE?
 AJHM as a journal subscription (instead use the CPE questionnaires in the AJHM)
 Books & Magazines aimed at the general public (e.g. cookbooks, recipe books, Wellbeing, New Scientist)
 First Aid (this is considered a separate professional responsibility)
 Other memberships, however if they include a journal, database access etc you can use these
 Product only information (e.g. in databases or catalogues)
 Your general work, such as researching and reading (regardless of hours) for maintaining your practice, for a client condition etc
CPE is about keeping yourself up to date in your profession. The NHAA requires ALL full members (practicing or non-practicing) to complete documented CPE annually.
Taking a Break: Members can suspend membership for up to 12 months and not supply evidence of CPE for this period when rejoining. NB: This exemption does not
apply if a member remains financial; CPE must be up to date at the time you suspend; After 12 months, 50 CPE points (acquired within the last year) are required to rejoin.
