Continuing Professional Development

My name is Tiffany Vambe, I am a registered nurse on secondment as a Chief Nurse Fellow working on behalf of the four provider organisations in Derbyshire. My project is Continuing Professional Development and I am researching opportunities and funding streams for continuing professional development for registered nurses. I am interested to receive feedback from healthcare professionals regarding post registration training and would be grateful if you would take a few moments to complete the questionnaire below.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is defined as the education provided for post registration healthcare professionals. It is an opportunity for post registration healthcare professionals to access a wide range of activities. The aim is to develop competent capable practitioners who are appropriately prepared to deliver the dynamic, flexible quality and patient focused service.
