Thanks, Margaret - I'm aware of OCPPP requirements - we need to see if it
changes attitudes and perhaps the culture is different in PP than in the
NHS.
The quote - that came from a lecture I gave at the East Anglian Board
Conference back in 1998!!!

Hi Julia
I am a long standing member of the OCPPP ( Organisation of Chartered
Physiotherapists in Private Practice) and CPD is now obligatory to
membership. When it was first suggested some opposed it because we, as
private practitioners have to pay for training and seminars ourselves and
they can be expensive. However, in order to make sure standards are being
maintained and we as a profession can demonstrate this through CPD, I feel
it is essential.
I saw the following quote on a brochure advertising training and thought
it very appropriate:
" Training is expensive - but what price ignorance?"
