Introducing continuing professional development
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
Most professions have recently realised that basic undergraduate and postgraduate training is not enough to maintain high standards of practice throughout a long career. Continuing professional development (CPD) has become a feature therefore of the working life of these professions, and medicine, which was in the forefront for undergraduate and postgraduate education, has somewhat lagged behind in this. The failure of consultants to keep up to date in their professional knowledge and attitudes is clearly detrimental to patients, to the doctors themselves, and to the Health Service.
