  7. Stimulus for Framework • The requirements of staff to work in multi-disciplinary, multiprofessional and multi-agency teams, in new or extended roles. • Confusion caused by the lack of common terminology. • Concern over the link between CPD* and the effect on patient outcomes.** • A desire for common processes for setting and monitoring standards in CPD. • Difficulties associated with transferability of learning – especially between employers • Complexity of key drivers and initiatives that influence delivery of the modern health service, in tandem with the on-going development of the scope of professional practice.

  8. Outcomes • A mechanism for linking CPD to outcomes for patients has been identified and developed. A ‘Unit Level Support Tool’ has been developed and is currently being piloted. • A glossary of proposed terminology for the Framework has been developed. • A proposed customised Performance Management Tool for Organisations (The Balanced Scorecard) for the planning, implementation, monitoring and control of CPD. • A process and format for annual appraisal and the common components for Portfolios and Personal Development Plans has been developed.
