 IMPORTANCE OF CPD

•  It allows doctors to develop professionally and to learn from more informal experiences.
• CPD helps doctors to improve their professional effectiveness, career opportunities and work satisfaction.
• CPD allows doctors to demonstrate that they are maintaining their skills in their practice.
• Modern healthcare is provided through a complex dynamic system. Partnerships are created between disciplines, professions, agencies, organizations, patients and the public. Communication and co-operation are important for improving healthcare for patients. Thus CPD activities take into account the obtaining environment within which medicine is practised.
• The ultimate purpose of CPD is to contribute to high-quality patient care and a healthier society.
