In more detailWhen recording your CPD you may be confused about just what information the RPSGB wants in relation to particular questions. For example, what do they mean by 'benefits to your practice'? What do they mean by 'how did you identify what you needed to learn'? You may have felt that as long as you were learning, then that should be enough. And then there is the issue of how much information is needed; will a sentence suffice or is a paragraph required? The Balanced Portfolio provides you with a deeper insight into CPD so that you can understand these issues and how to deal with them effectively. When you are subscribed to this service you will have a chance to look at all the factors that will have some bearing on the feedback that you receive from the RPSGB. It is not only the 25 good practice criteria that you need to comply with in meeting the CPD Standards; there are also an extended list of factors that will have some bearing on your feedback. You may be worried about the difficulty of finding the time; getting behind with your recording can lead to other problems. You may not remember the detail and the recording process itself becomes quite meaningless. The Balanced Portfolio helps you avoid this trap. You will receive encouraging email and SMS prompts reminding you to record your CPD. These are linked to how frequently and how much you are recording. You need never get behind with your CPD recording again. The Balanced Portfolio is an online training package, delivered quarterly. As well as advice, it includes brief exercises that you are encouraged to complete to help reinforce the learning and to identify new CPD opportunities. |
