📚 Mid-Year CPD Reminder

We're halfway through the year - the perfect time to check in on your CPD records.

All AfN Registrants are required to complete a minimum of 30 hours of CPD annually, and remember CPD is both undertaking the activity and reflecting on its content, relevance and impact.

Remember, you can log your CPD directly on your AfN dashboard, and we encourage you to update it regularly - this makes it really quick and easy if you are randomly selected for a CPD audit.

Need a refresher or support? We offer:
- CPD guidance and templates
- A helpful CPD Zoom clinic
- Examples of what counts as meaningful CPD

Bees and other pollinators play a vital role in our food system - supporting the growth of lots of crops such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds that underpin healthy, sustainable diets.

AfN Registered Nutritionists work across a wide range of sectors supporting food systems that protect both human and planetary health. That includes understanding the importance of biodiversity, sustainable agriculture and pollinator-friendly practices.

This week, we're celebrating the and all the unsung contributors to the food we eat - from wildflower strips to responsible sourcing.
