CPD & career development

Your CPD shouldn’t feel like admin.

Most tools just store what you did. Path turns the same activity into a case for your expertise — showing where you’re strong, where you’re thin, and the next move worth making. It serves the box you have to tick — renewal, revalidation, a fellowship — and the harder thing underneath: getting genuinely better at the work. You keep the judgement and the voice; Path keeps the shape, and the evidence is there when it counts.

How Path works

1
Aim at a standardPick the framework you're working towards — a promotion, fellowship, a new domain, or a CPD requirement.
2
Gather as you goClaims, CPD, reflections and evidence, each mapped to the criteria they meet.
3
Prove it — then aim higherWatch coverage build, close the gaps, export a submission-ready portfolio. Then pick what you're aiming for next.

Build your case

Build the case for your next step

Everything you do, mapped to what you’re working towards — so the portfolio builds as you grow, and always shows you what to do next.

Aim at the standard that stretches youA promotion, a fellowship, a new domain — map your evidence against the framework you're working towards, and see exactly what it would take to go further.
Claim against the criteriaWrite claims that argue you meet each criterion, in your own voice, with the evidence attached.
Log CPD and reflectCapture activities and structured reflections as you go — nothing scrambled together at renewal.
See where you stand — and what's nextA live map of where you're strong, what's missing, and what the highest-value next move is.
Statement and case studiesTie it together with a statement and case studies that group your strongest claims.
Share, and own your dataSend a private link to a mentor for feedback; export submission-ready Word, or everything as Markdown.

Most tools are a filing cabinet for what you’ve already done. Path is for the practitioner who treats their development as a direction they choose — and builds the evidence for it, deliberately, as they go.

See your gaps

See where you’re strong, where you’re thin — and what to do next

Path doesn’t just record activity. It maps your evidence against the standard and rates how strongly each criterion is met — so a coverage map shows not just what’s done, but the single highest-value move to close the gap.

Evidence quality

Not just what you logged — how well you evidenced it

Path rates each piece of evidence against Miller’s pyramid — the framework used in professional education to describe how deeply someone has demonstrated competence. A certificate says you attended. A practice record says you did it, with real outcomes to show for it.

Your portfolio map shows not just which criteria you’ve covered, but how strongly — so you can target richer evidence where the standard demands it.

Capture anywhere

Capture it the moment it happens

The best evidence is the kind you’d otherwise forget. Path works in your phone’s browser — there’s no app to install — so you can grab a photo or a quick note on the spot and file it later.

  • Snap a photo. A certificate, a whiteboard, a thank-you card — straight from your camera into your inbox.
  • Jot a quick note. A reflection while it’s fresh, before the detail fades.
  • Categorise later. Captures wait in your inbox until you’re ready to turn them into a claim, CPD, reflection, or evidence.

Same account, same data — just the part of Path you reach for on the move.

Share & get reviewed

Get eyes on your work before it counts

Send a private link to a mentor or assessor — no account needed — and get feedback and endorsements against the actual criteria, shown alongside the work itself. Inside an organisation, the same flow becomes a managed internal review.

Reviews

Members submit a path; you allocate reviewers and decide.

How the review works

A structured review process, without the friction

  • A member submits their path for review when ready. An admin allocates one or more reviewers from the institution.
  • Each reviewer works independently through the criteria — reading the claims and evidence alongside them — leaving feedback and a recommendation.
  • Feedback reaches the member alongside their actual work, attributed anonymously to a “Reviewer” — review is blind, and reviewers don't see each other's comments.
  • The admin makes the final decision and sees aggregate progress across the cohort — never the detail of an individual's portfolio.

A3.2 · Evidence-informed practice

Demonstrating evidence-informed practice in curriculum design

Draft · Last updated 12 Jun 2026

I applied evidence from systematic reviews of active learning pedagogy to redesign three core modules, shifting from lecture-based delivery to case-based formats. Student performance data over two cohorts shows a statistically significant improvement in summative assessment outcomes against the previous curriculum.

Strong use of longitudinal data. The two-cohort comparison is exactly what the panel will want to see.

For your organisation

Know what your people are developing towards — and meet your standard

Whether you’re a university, an NHS trust, or a professional body, Path gives you an anonymous, aggregate picture of how your people are developing against the standards that matter — so you can commission the right support and show your standard is being met, without putting anyone under surveillance.

Commission what your workforce is asking forAggregate, anonymised development intentions across your staff — what they're working towards, by type — tell you what to commission before you've spent on provision they didn't need.
A live picture of development progressAnonymous, aggregate progress across your cohort — frameworks in use, coverage by criterion, CPD hours — updated as people work.
Internal review, managedMembers submit a path for review; you allocate reviewers; feedback flows over rounds through to approval — without anyone needing to email a PDF.
Visibility without surveillanceYou see patterns, not people. A member appears by name only when they choose to share their path. Everything else stays theirs.

Privacy by design

Visibility without surveillance

Your organisation dashboard shows cohort-level data by default — how many members have started a path, what frameworks they’re using, where coverage is strong and where it isn’t. You see patterns, not people.

A person becomes visible by name only when they submit a path for review — an explicit, deliberate act of sharing. Until then, Path protects their portfolio as theirs.

What you see by default

  • What your people are developing towards, by type
  • Framework coverage across the cohort
  • CPD hours and evidence quality, aggregate
  • Criterion-level coverage across all frameworks

What stays private

  • Individual claim content and reflections
  • Whose evidence supports which criterion
  • Personal profile details
  • Everything, until the member chooses to share

Membership & professional bodies

Run a CPD scheme, register, or membership grade?

Whether you run a CPD scheme, a clinical register, or a membership grade, Path lets you define your framework and see how well your members are evidencing it — without becoming their employer or their regulator.

Member CPD at a glanceAggregate CPD hours and engagement across your membership — without collecting anyone's personal records.
Evidence quality, not just quantitySee how strongly members are evidencing their practice — from factual knowledge through to direct practice records.
Your own frameworksMap your standards, competences, or CPD requirements — members work towards your framework, not a generic one.
Regulator-ready reportingExport aggregate compliance data when a regulator or accreditor asks — without burdening your members.

Your standards, not ours

Your framework. Their evidence. Your insight.

Path doesn’t prescribe what counts as professional development. You define the standards — your CPD criteria, your competency framework, your membership grade requirements — and members gather evidence against them.

The result is an aggregate picture of how well your membership is meeting your standards, by criterion and by evidence strength — ready to share with a board, a regulator, or a funding body, without burdening any individual member.

1

You define the criteria

Add your standards, competences, or CPD requirements. Group them into pillars. Describe what evidence counts.

2

Members evidence against them

Each member builds their own portfolio against your framework — claims, CPD, reflections, evidence — rated by strength.

3

You see aggregate compliance

Your dashboard shows criterion-by-criterion coverage across your membership, updated as members add evidence.

Your members are already doing the CPD. Path gives them — and you — a way to show what it means, and to demonstrate that your standard is being met, not just acknowledged.

Privacy & security

Your portfolio is yours, and it’s protected

Path holds sensitive professional work, so security isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into how the app is structured and run.

  • Two-factor authentication. Add a code from an authenticator app at sign-in, so a leaked password alone can’t open your account.
  • Private by default. Database row-level security means one person’s portfolio can never be read by another. Your content is yours until you choose to share it.
  • Encrypted & EU-hosted. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and stored in the European Union (Supabase, Ireland).
  • Trusted infrastructure. Deployed on Vercel over HTTPS throughout, with security headers and dependency scanning.

Read the privacy policy for the full detail.
