Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

In recent weeks, nursing and some allied health professions (AHP) organizations have been lobbying hard for protected time within the work schedule for their members to undertake continuing professional development (CPD) activities (Rickerby, 2006). For AHPs, undertaking and recording evidence of CPD activities has, from 1 July 2006, become mandatory (Health Professionals Council, 2006) in order to retain the registration with the Health Professions Council (HPC), which is a pre-requisite to practice for the professions regulated by this organization.
