Practice Professional Development Plan (PPDP)
All of us work hard in the practice every day. Unfortunately, sometimes we are so
busy with our individual work that we forget we are all working towards the same
goal. The goal is the same irregardless of what our positions are within the
practice. Broadly speaking, this goal is to improve patient care. But all of us try to
achieve this goal differently, depending on whether we are doctors, nurses or
admin staff. A PPDP will help us coordinate all these different actions in a more
effective manner. It will also help us decide what we need to learn as a team in
order to achieve this ultimate goal. A PPDP is like a learning plan for the practice,
with everyone contributing to the learning and at the same time benefiting from it
as well.
Before we could come out with a plan, we need to decide how we, as a practice,
are performing at present. One way we could do this is by doing a SWOT analysis
on our practice. SWOT stands for:
•Strengths
•Weaknesses
•Opportunities
•Threats
On page 2, there is a simple exercise on how all of us can contribute to a SWOT
analysis……….
Strengths of the practice/team
(think in terms of clinical strengths, organizational, premises/facilities, staff/personnel, funding
etc)
Example: modern building with good facilities
Weaknesses of the practice/team
(think in terms of clinical weakness, organizational, premises/facilities, staff/personnel, funding
etc)
Example: multidisciplinary audits rarely done
Opportunities or Expectations of the practice/team
(think of personal ambitions, opportunities for the practice as a whole, what patients want, what
the PCT expect from us or vice versa, etc)
Example: would like to receive more training in prescribing
Threats or Barriers
(think of staff commitment, skills available, funding, external factors etc)
Example: new government rules may force us to open late into evening
