9. Practice Professional Development Plan (PPDP) • All of us work hard in the practice every day. Unfortunately, sometimes we are so busy with our individual work that we forget we are all working towards the same goal. The goal is the same irregardless of what our positions are within the practice. Broadly speaking, this goal is to improve patient care. But all of us try to achieve this goal differently, depending on whether we are doctors, nurses or admin staff. A PPDP will help us coordinate all these different actions in a more effective manner. It will also help us decide what we need to learn as a team in order to achieve this ultimate goal. A PPDP is like a learning plan for the practice, with everyone contributing to the learning and at the same time benefiting from it as well. • Before we could come out with a plan, we need to decide how we, as a practice, are performing at present. One way we could do this is by doing a SWOT analysis on our practice. SWOT stands for: • Strengths • Weaknesses • Opportunities • Threats • On page 2, there is a simple exercise on how all of us can contribute to a SWOT analysis……….

10. Strengths of the practice/team (think in terms of clinical strengths, organizational, premises/facilities, staff/personnel, funding etc) Example: modern building with good facilities Weaknesses of the practice/team (think in terms of clinical weakness, organizational, premises/facilities, staff/personnel, funding etc) Example: multidisciplinary audits rarely done Opportunities or Expectations of the practice/team (think of personal ambitions, opportunities for the practice as a whole, what patients want, what the PCT expect from us or vice versa, etc) Example: would like to receive more training in prescribing Threats or Barriers (think of staff commitment, skills available, funding, external factors etc) Example: new government rules may force us to open late into evening
