This year is going to be a challenge for us
all. Already departments in London and across the country are feeling the strain
of Covid-19 and it may yet get worse. As a college we have recognised the importance
of the clinical services and as such we have postponed or cancelled all of our
face to face CPD events for months to come. However, we can’t let CPD disappear,
and we might even argue that it is more important than ever to keep up to date
and to remember that we need to still develop a broad range of skills to be effective clinicians.
Our Spring CPD conference
was of course cancelled, but as a result we have an opportunity to use some of
the learning materials we prepared for this as a regular CPD bulletin. Our brief
for 2020 was to provide commentaries and links for each session in Bournemouth
that delegates could take away to further their learning and to act as reminders
of the content. As we no longer have a conference, we intend to use these, together
with some contributions from some of our postponed study days to give you a regular CPD topic.
Our topics are organised
with links to RCEM learning modules and we invite you to use these to keep your
CPD going and to reflect on your learning in the usual way (ideally using our
CPD app of course). We have also highlighted those individuals who have contributed
to the CPD content, the conference and the modules. Just click on the links embedded
within our infographics and keep learning. We will also package these CPD bulletins
with additional content from the college during this challenging time.
Finally, we will
get through this and the CPD team will return to normal at some point (hopefully)
soon. We were gutted not to get everyone together in Bournemouth and the postponement
of the study days around the country are clearly a missed opportunity for many
who put a huge amount of work into making them happen. Do not despair though,
we will be back with bigger and better ideas. Until then…. Wash your hands 😉
