We get £650 a year, but virtually none of the nurses use that much!

I'm not sure, but think it has to be taken on days off / hols/ weekends etc

We don't get RCVS / BVNA fees paid though, and are not allowed to take it out of CPD budget

Current work place £250 allowance and paid time off to do it if in day, but all nurses tend to do eve CPD. New work place (starting 23rd this month whoop!) no limit, just within reason if it's going to benefit the practice and you're keen.

Our CPD has to be done either in our own time or booked off as holiday.

Since they have started doing their own CPD after work I don't think we get any allowance.

There is no definative amount you have to ask and if partners think of benefit will allow it .We have 5 paid cpd days per year anything over that if unpaid or holiday
