Module Indicative Content
This module provides practitioners with the opportunity to demonstrate the development and enhancement of their clinical practice through a work-based learning approach.
It is a vehicle by which individual practitioners can demonstrate how they are keeping up to date with professional and practice developments. It will enable practitioners to establish evidence of practice learning and competence enhancement from work-based activities which could be used for renewal of professional registration.
This module allows practitioners to demonstrate how they have enhanced their learning and improved their professional practice. This may be through:
1. Participation in established in-service programmes
2. Developing patient/client care
