CONCLUSION
Nurses perceive professional development in a positive manner irrespective of their
clinical environment in the main. Despite this it can be seen that the impact of CPD in the
nursing profession is disminished for several reasons. The absence of reflection from the
learning process is evident in dome cases and this reduces the impact on practice that
educational intervention csn have. A reduced inability to alter working practices is evident in
nursing, not only caused by colleagues, but by the leadership styles of managers. Alack of
support has culminated in the frustration and disempowerment of nurses who are unable to
improve their practices because of staffing, time and financial constraints. It is important that
the nursing professions adopts a problem-solving approach to the challenges surrounding
professional developmen, so it can offer the mordern service that the government has
visualised. CPD as a subset of lifelong learning is gaining increasing recognition in both its
personal and professional application. It is widely viewed as playing a pivotal role im
meeting health service delivery needs and the learning needs of individual healthcare
professionals. However, many nurses encounter difficulties in gaining access to CPD, and
those opportunities for CPD that are provided may be restricted to traditional methods such as
formal academic programmes or in-service training concerned with the performanve of
functional tasks. The development of competencies, personal development planning, lifelong
learning, career guidance and choice, professional portfolio development and job satisfaction
are all processes that are reflected positively and they are key component in the continuum
CPD.
