 It is important to celebrate your achievements to date. However, keeping your knowledge and skills up to date in the fast healthcare industry is imperative to the success of your career, for both new and established clinicians.

Healthcare is more than just a career it is a vocation where you can instrumentally impact on peoples lives. Therefore, understanding that your continuing professional development is not just a mandatory requirement of your profession but can be an opportunity to not only set you apart in the field of your choice, but also offer your patients the most up to date clinical treatments available, is vital.

We cannot stress the importance of continuing professional development (CPD).

 

 

High quality CPD learning safeguards the public, the clinician, the clinic and ultimately supports your professional career.

 1.   CPD can propel you to the leading-edge of your field. Advancing your career in new and exciting ways.

2.   CPD ensures you keep contributing meaningfully to your patients and team. Propelling you to lead, manage and influence those around you positively.

3.   CPD builds on your body of knowledge, technically, practically and conceptually, giving you a deeper appreciation of the implications and impact of your work.

4.   CPD is a tool to stay relevant and up to date with fast changing trends in your healthcare field. The current acceleration of change is unprecedented and exponential, due in part to technological advancements. To maintain your skill currency, ongoing learning is vital.

5.   CPD encourages a greater awareness of market trends and improving industry standards. This knowledge is key to understanding where your skill gaps may lie and how to develop a logical pathway to support your career ambitions and advance in your career.

6.   CPD keeps you interested and excited about treating people. Whilst full immersion in your respective practice can be valuable, creating space to reflect and refocus, opens you up to new possibilities, new thought patterns and new skill areas.

7.   CPD can be transformative, influencing all areas of your personal and professional life. Allow it to be a gift to discover new ways to improve your quality of life, sustainable and support your economic resilience.

8.   CPD can allow you to pivot your career, whilst still utilising your unique knowledge base. Offering you the freedom to be the master architect of your own career.

9.   CPD increases the public perception and confidence in both you and your healthcare discipline(s).

Let CPD become more than a mandated requirement, rather let it become a fundamental pillar in your lifelong learning journey, breathing life into your career, supporting your dreams and aspirations. Building you as much personally as it does professionally.
