Introducing Collaborative CPD
What is collaborative CPD? Well, it's a way of tagging your crewmates/colleagues in specific CPD entries such as reflections on jobs, and then asking your crewmates/colleagues to answer some questions and provide some feedback on your communication and clinical management. You can then use this feedback as prompts to write - or expand - your reflective entries. Or you can export their feedback and add it to your portfolio as evidence of feedback.
