Session outcomes • Know what support & resources are available from CSP to support individual CPD • Contribute to the ongoing development of CSP’s CPD resources

CPD: A PERSONAL JOURNEY OF LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT

What is CPD? • Process of lifelong learning that enables us to maintain, build and develop our knowledge, skills and behaviours – as a person, & as employee, & CSP member • Outcomes-based approach to CPD – show learning changes my practice • Any activity/experience could become a learning opportunity…depending on how I use it Why not watch the short video pod-casts on CSP’s website for more information?

CPD – supportive tools • HPC’s standards for CPD • CSP’s Code of members’ professional values and behaviour • CSP’s standards (in press) • CSP’s Physiotherapy Framework

Behaviours, knowledge & skills for CPD • Assess personal learning & development needs & preferences; • Develop & engage in a personalised plan designed to meet those needs; • Reflect on the learning process; • Document process You will find resources to help you develop these b/k/s in CSP’s CPD webfolio

PLANNING, RECORDING & EVALUATING MY LEARNING

Using reflective practice. . . ‘An active persistent & careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the grounds that support it & the further conclusion to which it tends’ (Dewey, 1933)

. . . to learn from doing (Kolb, 1984) Plan action using general principles Active experimentation Cowan (1998) Concrete experience Formation of abstract conceptions & generalisations Analysing why Asking how Reflective observation

Timing of reflection • Reflection on action, & in action (Schön, 1997) • Reflection for action (Cowan, 1998) Tools to support planning, recording & evaluation of learning are available in CSP’s e. Portfolio & CPD Series in Frontline

Recording my learning • Format depends on nature of learning opportunity & my personal preferences for recording information; • Record should provide enough information for me to show a learning opportunity links to my current/future practice (issues around confidentiality/data protection); • Dated (when learning took place, when record created & when learning was/will be evaluated); • Easy to access/stored securely

Portfolio: presenting evidence of the impact of my learning

Qualities of a portfolio • a set of data (evidence & information) collated by an individual that provides evidence of their behaviours, knowledge, & skills • evidence can be developed from a range of learning experiences: formal ↔ informal • personal • flexible content/presentation–to reflect interests/requirements of the audience Sample portfolios are available to read in the CPD webfolio

CSP resources to support CPD • CSP networks e. g. ERNs/Country Boards, PNs, working groups/committees • i. CSP • Frontline CPD Series • CSP Library & Information Services • CSP e. Portfolio (includes CPD webfolio & Physiotherapy Framework resources) • Championing CPD project

Reflection on action - for action. . . • What did I gain from this session? • Does this match the list I made at the beginning of the session? • How will I apply my learning in practice? • How will I evaluate the impact of this learning on my practice? • When will I conduct that evaluation? • How could I meet any unmet learning needs?
