26 February 2025 (Wednesday) - HCPC Update

The HCPC sent their update today. You can read it by clicking here. It would seem that next week is CPD week and there’s all sorts of suggestions and ideas about how best one might perform and record CPD.
Personally I find it quite simple;

• Sign up for every mailing list and Facebook group that is remotely relevant and material floods in.
• Keep an eye out for interesting cases at work.
• Watch what seems to be interesting to the bosses – what I so often dismiss as “management nonsense” is actually the future of the profession, and a bit of reflection there means I don’t miss that which I might otherwise flippantly ignore.
• Make a little note of everything you see and hear. A sub-folder in your work email in-box works for me.

Once a week go through your week’s worth of what you’ve accrued. When you have a look you’ll decide to ding out most of it, but there will be one or two snippets of note.
Now – here-s the crucial bit. WRITE THEM UP PROPERLY so you’ve got a record. You can do that on paper, in a notebook, however you like. Me – I like to record it all here as the nice people at Google give me this webspace for free. But however you do CPD, actually do it AND record it… It’s a legal obligation
