Participants are required to keep a “Learning Log” detailing the CPD activities they undertake each year.
For examples of how to complete your “Learning Log”:
|
All activities entered into Learning Logs require the name, type and level of activity, the date completed and the points allocated. Level Two and Three activities required additional information, including reflection and evaluation of the activity undertaken.
Upon completion of Level Two activities, participants will need to answer the following three questions:
- Identify: the areas from the activity or event where you could improve or maintain your practice
- Set goals: give examples of what you would like to achieve in the above areas for improvement or developing your practice
- Follow Up: how do you intend to monitor your progress or assess changes you might make?
Upon completion of Level Three activities, participants will need to address the following additional questions:
- Professional groups: Which professional groups were involved?
- Issue or topic: What issues were addressed?
- Assess changes: How did you assess the changes made - comparison with Best Practice/Guidelines, Peer Review, Audit, other?
- Data: Types of data collected for baseline and comparison?
- Implementation: What ideas and methods were used to change practice? E.g. information sharing, training, incentives, opinion leaders
- Changes sustained: What changes were sustained?
- Challenges: What changes did not work, why?
- Follow up: How do you intend to monitor your progress or assess whether the change is further sustained in the future?
These questions are intended to encourage participants to identify, address, reflect and evaluate the action taken to maintain and/or improve their practice.
Templates for your Learning Log may be found in the following pages. These are also available electronically on the College website and eventually, will be available for completion online.
Your Learning Log is verification of your CPD Activity. In the event you are randomly selected for Audit, you will be asked to submit your Learning Log to the College.
