A computerised, evaluative learning tool (CELT) supports self-directed learning for general practitioners (GPs). It enhances awareness of learning needs and facilitates practice changes, demonstrating value in continuing professional development.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Continuing Professional Development
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Self-directed learning is crucial for healthcare professionals.
  • Continuing professional development (CPD) requires effective learning tools.
  • Bridging the gap between learning and practice change is a key challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a computerised, evaluative learning tool (CELT).
  • To assess how CELT encourages self-directed learning and practice changes.
  • To understand user perceptions of the CELT program.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of interviews with general practitioners (GPs).
  • Quantitative analysis of data entries from the CELT software.
  • Study conducted in the West of Scotland region involving 39 GPs.

Main Results:

  • 34 out of 39 participating GPs used CELT, with 28 submitting data.
  • 76% of users found the program easy to use, with 24/7 accessibility.
  • CELT increased awareness of learning value and prompted practice changes in 41% of entries.

Conclusions:

  • CELT effectively supports individual continuing professional development for GPs.
  • The tool fosters a disciplined learning approach and identifies learning needs.
  • CELT enhances GPs' ability to learn from daily experiences and apply new knowledge.
