BPC 2005 CPD The Reality and the Rewards Jonathan Wood Professional Training Manager Lloyds Pharmacy
Continuing Education (CE) or CPD? • Many pharmacists are used to the “30 hour” rule • Attendance at workshops or completion of open learning training meant certificates, accumulate enough certificates and you achieve 30 hours • Flawed system as the impact of the training was not assessed
CPD or CE? • CPD allows you to be more selective, consider your learning needs and your learning styles
CPPE and Reflection • Learning that starts at reflection. Do we always consider periodically what our learning needs are? • The new pharmacy contract gives an opportunity to commence CPD • Review the contract- are there requirements for the new contract that we could identify as a learning need?
CPD and Reflection • What learning needs do you select? • Remember to be SMART • A learning need is not only clinical knowledge! • Mapping competences
CPD and Planning • Having identified my learning need how can I plan to achieve it?
CPD and Planning • Professional journals • CPPE/WCPPE/SCPPE • Textbooks/Pharmaceutical Press • Company training / NPA • Internet • The internet has allowed access to a large amount of quality learning materials.
Consider your Learning Style • The resources are available as: • Workshops/lectures • Small study groups • E-learning • Print based • CD Rom
Honey and Mumford • Learning styles , make your CPD easier by selecting your preferred learning style • Activist • Reflector • Theorist • Pragmatist
Barriers to CPD • “I don’t have enough time to write everything down and record all this CPD” • Have you in the last month “wasted” 30 minutes?
Barriers to CPD • Technology- many pharmacy PMR systems do not have internet access • CPD desktop, many PMR systems will not run CPD desktop, other pharmacy companies may not allow external software to be loaded on their PMR system • Do all pharmacists have a PC/internet access
Barriers to CPD • “CPD isn’t relevant to me yet. I don’t know anyone who has been asked to submit so I’ll worry about it when it happens!” • Has anyone signed a declaration that you will undertake CPD and keep a record of it?
Barriers to CPD • Recording format . • Mapping competences • On line tutorial • Case studies
CPD Top tips • Reflection-spend 30 minutes a month considering your learning needs and how to meet those learning needs • Form a study group • Use a strategy for meeting your learning needs. If internet search consider use of several high quality websites with good links to other sites
CPD Top Tips • Be concise. Select your learning needs carefully. Are your objectives SMART • Overcome the barrier and complete that first entry. Make a start! • Unscheduled learning occurs regularly. Remember to record it. • Utilise the help available.
CPD Example • Reflection. Having attended a most interesting and informative BPC session on CPD you decide to commence your CPD recording. You decide a starting point is learning how to actually complete an entry and consider any skills needs • Planning.
CPD Example • Action • Evaluation
Pharmacy Technicians • Voluntary register • Code of Ethics for Pharmacy Technicians • Requirement to demonstrate evidence of CPD • “Participation in CPD is mandatory for pharmacy technicians who are registered as practicing” • Challenge to engage in CPD
