by Personnel Today 1 Mar 2000

Life
Long Learning and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) are the processes
by which professionals, such as nurses, develop and improve their practice.

There
are many ways to address CPD: formally, through attending courses, study days
and workshops; or informally, through private study and reflection. Reading
articles in professional journals is a good way of keeping up-to-date with what
is going on in the field of practice, but reflecting and identifying what you
have learnt is not always easy. These questions are designed to help you to
identify what you have learnt from studying the article. They will also help
you to clarify what you can apply to practice, what you did not understand and
what you need to explore further.

Risk assessment, risk management and immunisation may have been covered
in the sessions on health and safety issues and infection control.
5a Working as a team and attending meetings require specific skills.
Explore these further by reading: Challinor P, 1999, Meetings: the challenge,
Nursing Standard. 13, 50, 40-45 and Bee F, Bee R, (1998) Facilitation Skills,
London: IPD

7d
OH services may not be able to give advice on a, b and c but they can
point people in the right direction
8c The ethical issues of research and epidemiology are important factors
to consider in clinical effectiveness. Undertake a literature search on these
topics if they are not familiar to you. A useful text is Beaglehole R, Bonita R
and Kjellstrom T, 1993. Basic Epidemiology, WHO
9d |Make notes on elements of questionnaires you have found good and
those you have found annoying. Discuss this with your clinical supervisor or a
respected colleague
