Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Toolkit in Action - Delivering safe and effective care:
Our members continually raise concerns about the challenges they encounter accessing continuous professional development (CPD) and lifelong learning opportunities. As the workforce crisis has grown across the UK, a lack of employer support and increasing staffing pressures have left nursing staff finding it a challenge to get both approval to take paid time for CPD and the funding needed to pay for it. This toolkit, aimed at employers whatever the setting, gives the background, evidence and rationale for the provision of contractual, fully funded CPD to ensure the delivery of safe and effective care, and supports the accompanying CPD toolkit in action which is aimed at RCN staff and reps (012 215).
