description Introduction Continuing professional development (CPD) remains voluntary in nine European countries. Evidence suggests a move towards mandatory CPD across Europe with the objective of harmonisation of dental CPD. Although the importance of CPD is acknowledged, the literature regarding its effectiveness is limited and under debate. Aims and objectives The main aim was to measure the effectiveness and success of a new CPD programme with the objective to devise a strategy, guidelines and recommendations for the establishment of a dental CPD programme in Malta. Methodology This project was divided into two phases; Phase 1 was the analysis of a survey sent out to 135 members of the Dental Association of Malta. Phase 2 involved the evaluation of eight verifiable CPD events, through pre‐event and post‐event tests and feedback forms, to investigate the effect on short‐term knowledge retention and the respective satisfaction levels of participants at each event. Results The survey had a response rate of 78%. The CPD events in Phase 2 all showed statistically significant improvement in short‐term knowledge retention on each subject (p
