Learn online and gain a CPD accreditation

Support your professional development and learn at your own pace.

Earn a CPD accreditation by completing Shine’s e-learning courses, developed for professionals supporting people affected by spina bifida, hydrocephalus, and related conditions.

Our online courses cover a range of topics that our members tell us are most important to them. They include everything that you, as a professional, need to know to provide appropriate support to your patients/clients. Each course is designed to help you better understand conditions such as spina bifida and hydrocephalus, and improve support through prevention and changes in approaches and practices. The e-learning courses are accredited by The CPD Certification Service.

The accredited e-learning modules that are currently available are for healthcare professionals, but modules for other professionals, e.g. those working in education, are coming soon. Join as a professional member to be kept updated with our latest courses.
