Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
After completing my Masters last year and
taking a short break from study I decided I wanted to continue
being involved in the research aspect of podiatry and continue
to expand my knowledge as well as establishing AXIS Podiatry.
In February 2004 I therefore decided to enrol on a Professional
Doctorate programme at the University of Salford. This is
again a part time course over a period of 5 years. I hope
to get involved in research relevant to my profession and
the development of myself as a practitioner.
As well as being involved in research I
try to keep up to date with the knowledge base and evidence
around regarding biomechanics and the treatment of sports
injuries. This means reading journals, research papers and
attending regular updates, conferences and courses. The following
table lists the most recent and relevant CPD that I have completed
and that which I plan to complete before the end of 2006. |
