Accredited for 3 CPD Points (Psychology)
course expires 31/12/2022
Description of course:
Sexual health concerns are likely to present to practicing psychologists due to their high prevalence and association to mental and physical health problems (and treatment thereof) in clients. The psychologist should be able to explore the emotional, relational, and other issues which might impact negatively on the clients’ sexuality; these may also affect other areas of the clients’ life. Therapeutic intervention entails that the psychologist must be able to work with individuals and couples in a variety of ways to improve their body image, self-esteem, and communication skills in order for their sex lives to be more fulfilling. However, the majority of psychologists do not receive training in this field. This lack of training affects the level of comfort and knowledge of the psychologist which may in turn affect the therapeutic relationship.

Changes to the HPCSA CPD Submission process
From the 1st of Feb 2022, CPD certificates for HPCSA delegates will no longer be needed / issued.
Service providers are required to complete a template after each activity and this will be sent through to the HPCSA by the service providers. The HPCSA will then capture the points on behalf of the delegates.
This new process will automatically upload the accredited CPD event/activity points to the HPCSA professional’s profile.
As I am sure you can imagine, this new process will have some teething problems. This process does alleviate the burden on the professionals to keep track of the CPD points and certificates and allows for automatic update of the CPD points directly to the HPCSA. This process further removes all administrative burdens from the health professionals and places all the administrative burdens on the service provider providing the CPD activity.
All discrepancies regarding point’s needs to be discussed with the service providers.
All service providers need to submit this information to the HPCSA “immediately” after a CPD event. In the case online activities with a MCQ component, the suggestion was that such information be submitted to the HPCSA once a month.
