Lifelong Learning
Lifelong Learning
• National Project funded by Department of Health
• ‘Developing a Shared Framework for Health Professional Learning beyond Registration’
Stimulus for Framework
• The requirements of staff to work in multi-disciplinary, multiprofessional and multi-agency teams, in new or extended roles.
• Confusion caused by the lack of common terminology.• Concern over the link between CPD* and the effect on
patient outcomes.**• A desire for common processes for setting and monitoring
standards in CPD.• Difficulties associated with transferability of learning –
especially between employers• Complexity of key drivers and initiatives that influence
delivery of the modern health service, in tandem with the on-going development of the scope of professional practice.
Outcomes
• A mechanism for linking CPD to outcomes for patients has been identified and developed. A ‘Unit Level Support Tool’ has been developed and is currently being piloted.
• A glossary of proposed terminology for the Framework has been developed.
• A proposed customised Performance Management Tool for Organisations (The Balanced Scorecard) for the planning, implementation, monitoring and control of CPD.
• A process and format for annual appraisal and the common components for Portfolios and Personal Development Plans has been developed.
