I am undertaking some research with physiotherapists to investigate support
for CPD - this forms part of the CSP's project on CPD & Lifelong Learning.
One of the findings related to the development of work-based learning and
portfolio-keeping is that physiotherapists are reluctant to take time away
from treating patients to undertake CPD in the workplace and there seems to
be a guilt culture around this. I hope to be able to propose some ways of
overcoming this.
I am looking for literature/information/references around this attitude and
culture - is it just in physiotherapy or does it occur in other professions
- therapy, health and beyond?
Any suggestions will be very welcome.
