Why CPD is important
Continuing Professional Development
“CPD ensures that professions remain up-to-date in a changing world and that the reputation of the profession is enhanced, encouraging individuals to aspire to improve performance and ensure they are committed to learning and it is an integral part of their work”. (Whittaker 1992)
For Health and Social Care professionals CPD is not only a requirement of your governing body, it is a personal achievement in continually updating your knowledge and skills to keep abreast of current and future ways of practice. CPD is an ongoing process that ensures learning is current and documented.
CPD is so much more than going on courses, it also includes being able to self-direct your study particularly when you know that your learning will benefit you in certain situations or on reflection.
Tools and techniques are available via this website to assist in completion of a portfolio with supporting documentation available every step of the way.
