Study Notes

Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is an ongoing learning and development process that increases knowledge, understanding, and experiences in a subject area or role.
CPD includes both formal and informal learning methods, such as work-based learning, peer support opportunities, completing professional qualifications, and reflective thinking.
Participating in training sessions and evaluating the program are steps in the training process. Training methods include discussions, hands-on experience, and role-playing exercises.
Student opinions, supervisors' observations, and workplace improvements are used to evaluate the training program.
CPD is important for dealing with new or complex situations, achieving career goals, gaining confidence, and demonstrating commitment to skill development.
A comprehensive CPD plan should include learning goals/objectives, current skills assessment, learning activities, a timeline, and evaluation methods.
Self-assessment is the first step in creating a Professional Development Plan (PDP), followed by setting goals, developing strategies, gathering resources, creating a timeline, and tracking progress.
CPD can include attending seminars, webinars, workshops, professional networks, continuing education institutions, and social media platforms for professional growth.
Creating a timeline and deadlines is an effective way to stick to goals and making sure they are time-bound.
Regularly reviewing and updating a PDP is essential to ensure professional growth and development.
