| Description | Continuing Professional Development (CPD) should aim to develop the individual practitioner, their profession (through architectonics and the dissemination of 'best practice'), and (as a consequence of the above) the delivery of the service itself. However, many CPD schemes are 'input-led', relying on the mechanistic and bureaucratic recording of study days and courses; little or no mind is paid to the outcomes of that activity. This is particularly the case in healthcare, where the formal idea of CPD is relatively new. This article argues for an approach to CPD that is learning focused, accenting the vital importance of experiential learning through reflective practice. It suggests ways in which a learning culture for practice development in the human services can be developed. |
