Thinking outside the box for development opportunities

But which box are we talking about?

Science Council Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Standards

Standard S2:“…activities relevant to current or future practice…”

Where will you be in the future?

CPD is a marathon, not a sprint…

…think of your development beyond the next 12 months

Who knows you best? Ask them what they think.

Standard S3:“…your CPD has contributed to the quality of your practice…”

Be honest about your weaknesses

Variety is the spice of lifeMix it up a bit

Standard S4:“…your CPD benefits the users of your service…”

Give volunteering a go

Reflection. Reflection. Reflection.
