Barriers
“At the moment anyone working in the NHS is under more pressure than at any other time, certainly within my career, and unfortunately there are so many changes that we wonder if we will have jobs for much longer. Perhaps this makes PebblePad less of a priority”
NHS PodiatristSlide14
“Everyone at work are pretty unmotivated and fed up with the current NHS situation so finding the time and effort to use PebblePad is unfortunately
beening
put on the backburner by most - which I can understand”.
NHS PodiatristSlide15
Impact
Increase in number of members with CPD system in place
Increase in ICT confidence
Anecdotal evidence – popular with members
Continue to get request for licences
Use by Faculty of Podiatric Surgery for training purposesSlide16
Lessons learnt
Recording CPD low priority amongst members
Time pressures
Administration glitches
Over zealous fire walls in the NHS
Cascade training not effective
Excellent tool for reflective practiceSlide17
In summary
PebblePad can provide professional membership organisations with a low cost solution to assist members with the recording and storing CPD.
The use of PebblePad can provide a tool to help members with poor ICT skills gain confidence and provide a platform for them to ‘have a go’ at using Information Communication Technology.
The reflective platform used by PebblePad, allows the user to participate in reflective practice and can help make it part of the routine CPD recording process. Slide18
