Conference Week 5
CPD and Critical Analysis in the Workplace
The webinar took place from 13:00-14:30 on Wed 30th June 2021 with Paddy Turner as host.
The webinar discussions for this week centred on Continuing Professional Development (CPD) which is the cornerstone of every profession – it is recognised as an essential component in maintaining professional status and ensuring professional standards – in every nation…….why then is this the first activity to be targeted when budgets are reduced? Why are there such things as ‘barriers to CPD’ in our sector? Why does it appear to be rationed out with less CPD opportunities available to lower grades. What do we need to do/can we do to preserve the opportunities and establish it as an intractable, essential activity for practitioners? What happens in other countries in this regard? How successfully is CPD identified and the learning extracted from it?’
These points and many others will be addressed by Paddy and his panel of experienced practitioners during the webinar: Professor Nicola Martin, Fiona Kolontari, Alison Phillips, Christine Werrell and Amy Low
