Discussion What is a CPD Portfolio?

What is a CPD Portfolio? A private collection of evidence that demonstrates learning and development as well as a plan for future development. It’s both retrospective and prospective as well as reflecting the current stage of development of the individual. It should be a private and personal document, from which relevant entries and evidence can be extracted for a particular purpose.

“Reflection” “ Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels perhaps there isn’t.” Milne 1926 P 1

REFLECTIVE PRACTICE What does reflective practice mean to you?

Reflective Practice “Professional activity in which the practitioner thinks critically about their practice and as a result may modify their action or behaviour and/or modify their learning needs” CSP 2005 Reflective writing helps you to squeeze all the goodness out of your learning

Reflective Questions What did you do? How did you do it? Why did you it ? How will you apply it?

What are the HPC 5 CPD Standards?

Standards for HPC CPD www.hpc-uk.org A registrant must: Standard 1 Maintain a continuous, up-to-date and accurate record of their CPD activities; Standard 2 Demonstrate that their CPD activities are a mixture of learning activities relevant to current and future practice; Standard 3 Seek to ensure that their CPD has contributed to the quality of their practice and service delivery; Standard 4 Seek to ensure that their CPD benefits the service user; Standard 5 Present a written profile containing evidence of their CPD on request. www.hpc-uk.org

Re-registration Each time you sign your renewal form you are confirming that you have met the HPC standards for CPD. The audit process exists to verify this.

The HPC CPD Profile The profile will be a form to complete and comprises three parts: A summary of practice history for last 2 years (up to 500 words) A statement of how you have met the HPC standards of CPD (up to 1500 words) Evidence to support your statement

There is an appeal process. AUDIT OUTCOMES You meet the HPC CPD standards and receive a letter to inform you of this. If you fail to meet the standards, you will be given time to resubmit your profile. There is an appeal process.

Deferral If you are picked to return your CPD profile and, due to circumstances outwith your control you are unable to do so, you can ask for a deferral But… you will automatically be chosen again for audit two years later when your registration comes up for renewal again.

We do CPD every week and we are often regularly reflecting on our practice so Evidence it!
