Invaluable workbook to help GPs and practice staff meet the
requirements of continuing professional development (cpd)
General practitioners, like all other health professionals, need
to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in medicine and
education. They also need to respond to changing technology and
changes in the delivery of care. The environment in which GPs work
is extremely dynamic but this book helps to keep GPs up-to-date
with these advancements and with their professional skills.
The Chief Medical Officer in the UK has recommended that the key
to professional development is a Practice Professional Development
Plan (PPDP) which, in turn, helps set objectives for individual
GPs, the Personal Development Plan.
This workbook takes the mystery out of professional development
by explaining how to use existing information to analyse strengths
and weaknesses, priorities and needs, and to develop a plan that
will improve working life on all levels and leading ultimately to
improved patient care.
This book provides tangible methods for how to implement an
abstract concept that is being foisted on busy professionals – a
must read for every GP in the UK.
