THE Pharmaceutical Society of Australia's Continuing Professional Development planning tool for pharmacists has been improved "to be more user-friendly and responsive," with the makeover coming some months after it was launched at the PSA16 conference in Sydney (PD 04 Aug 2016).
Free for PSA members, the tool promises to easily identify professional development needs relevant to each pharmacists' unique scope of practice and related competencies.
PSA spokesman Shane Jackson said "we've listened to the feedback for making the process of developing a CPD plan as easy and efficient as possible.
"These new updates make an already great tool even better...the tool aids pharmacists in building a dynamic CPD plan that supports lifelong learning and career development," Jackson said.
Enhancements include a single sign-in if a PSA member is already logged into the PSA website; the ability to 'clone' a scope of practice from a previously developed CPD plan; and the ability to move forwards and backwards through the self-assessment process.
There's also a new self-assessment facility for Domains 1 and 2, easier identification and assessment of professional development opportunities, and the ability to upload completion certificates for self-recorded CPD activities.
