About

Ludus CPD

Features

Capture CPD as it really happens. Most CPD systems assume learning happens in neat blocks.It doesn’t. Learning happens while reading articles, listening to podcasts, attending courses, teaching others, reflecting on cases, or discovering something unexpected during daily professional practice. Ludus is designed to capture that learning instantly without disrupting your workflow. Ludus helps professionals log CPD at the moment it happens, turning real-world learning into clean, structured, compliant CPD records in seconds. Log CPD from articles, videos, podcasts, courses, conversations, and everyday practice. With minimal input. Create a structured CPD entry you can refine later. CPD often gets missed because logging feels like admin. Ludus removes friction so capturing learning is fast enough to actually happen, even when you’re busy. Attach links, notes, files, or supporting evidence to each CPD entry. Everything stays connected and easy to review when you need it. Track totals, review past learning, and export CPD records when required. No scrambling, no back-dating, no forgotten learning. Ludus is suitable for clinicians and other regulated professionals who need reliable CPD records without turning learning into paperwork. Why Ludus? • Capture CPD as it happens • One-tap logging from real-world learning • Flexible reflections and evidence • Clear, compliant CPD records • Designed to reduce stress, not add to it Ludus doesn’t change how you learn. It changes how easy it is to prove you did. Terms of Use (EULA): https://app.ludus-cpd.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://app.ludus-cpd.com/privacy
