302  Task B Personal development plan (PDP)

Bi Design a template for a personal development plan (PDP) that you could use to improve your learning, development and professional practice. For each heading in the template, provide a brief summary describing what should be included.

This is an example of my Personal Development Plan

2) NVQ 3 - long term goal

this plan will help me focus on my specific objectives

EXPLAINING THE PLAN

Thinking about myself:

• What do you do well?

• What do you need to do better?

• What problems did they present with?

• Did a client ask anything I couldn’t answer?

• What issues were raised during ymy appraisal?

Then my practice:

• What runs well?

• What doesn’t run so well and causes me problems?

• What significant events has the practice had?

• What are the practice development priorities and what are the implications for me?

Tools for Assessing Learning Needs

In relation to PDPs,

These are various “tools” or methods that can help me. The most common is simply

“Self Awareness”  as we are all usually aware of areas that we are less confident in

Examples to identifying your learning needs:

Reflection/Self-awareness.

Group discussion (e.g. in your Practice or other small group).

Consultation Log Diaries.

Traditional clinical audit.

Self-assessment of knowledge or skills.

Review of hospital letters, etc.

How to address your Learning Needs

Here i'm explaining how i will take action and what resources i will need.

Activities to be used are fairly obvious and include the following:

Reading

Books/journals/Internet resources

Meeting/Workshops or conference

Practical Session

Hospital outpatient/other health professional

Practical course

Learning with colleagues

Be creative and make it enjoyable

Audit

• Audit

Date to Achieve the Goal

Ensuring that I give myself plenty of time – things always take longer than you think.

Outcomes/Evidence

i got to make sure my PDP include my anticipated outcomes (for example how me or my practice will change as a result of the development activity).

to be able to audit and prove my practices when required to.

have case records showing where I have diagnosed a condition that I

might not have previously been able to do.

should consider outcomes and evidence under three main headings:

1. What evidence of learning? e.g. notes from lectures or from reading/records/certificates

of attendance at meetings.

2. Can I demonstrate changes in my practice? e.g. guidelines/protocols.

3. Will I be able to show impact on patient care? e.g. audits, case reports, feedback.

The final stage is for your appraiser to agree a satisfactory completion of my Personal

Development Plan.

Bii  Explain how a PDP can help a social care worker identify improvements in their knowledge,

understanding and practice.

A personal development plan is an aim of a career. It helps individuals to reach their professional destiny they desire.  e.g: (Suppose i would like to be a senior. i have to make my targets, will also make a list of necessary training, skills and qualification I will  need and put it in my portfolio. I will have to set time for each step. Then will plan how to achieve each step to acquire my desired goal in time.)

It acts as a process of planning, monitoring, assessment to help my capabilities and potential to fulfil my job role and purpose.

Plan should be created on the basis of area I need to develop and how I will approach and when to reach my goal.

Following and accomplishing every step of personal development plan I will identify that my knowledge, understanding and practice has been improved.

Biii  Identify sources of support for planning and reviewing your development.

Asking colleagues and other professional’s questions. Accessing internal and external training. Spending time working alongside colleagues and other professional’s. Team meetings and discussions.

Biv  Identify people who can help you develop your knowledge, understanding and practice.

As a care worker i get my help and support to develop my knowledge, understanding and my practice from Manager, Senior Care Worker, Colleague and Other Professional agencies . Even he can obtain the support from social care council website and also other related websites.

Bv  Explain how the people identified above can help you appreciate your strengths and areas for development.

The effective way to appreciate my strength and areas for development are feedback, appraisal and reflective practice. When I receive feedback from service users and appraisals from manager or senior it does help me to understand my strength and developments i need to improve the quality of service.
