I said "unfortunately" because I got my MA in 1994 and have still not written my
PDR! I'm glad to see someone has even more years to write about than I do! I
started this list a year ago in a fit of enthusiasm after attending my 3rd PDR
course, but it's now a year on and I STILL haven't written it :-(

I think it would have helped me. I chose to go to UCL to do my MA as it has
EXAMS and I know I need the stress of revising for a particular exam (i.e. a
deadline) to perform at my best. (That must be why I'm so bloomin' good at my
current job; I'm ALWAYS stressed ;-) Personal deadlines for writing PDR plans,
chapters etc seem to fall by the wayside when I'm exhausted after a busy day at
work. But if you could become chartered by EXAM, then I'd be sorted!
