Summary
Continuing professional development (CPD) for UK nurses and allied health professionals is influenced by organizational and personal factors. Manager and colleague support is critical for optimizing CPD engagement and addressing barriers.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Professions
- Continuing Professional Development
- Workforce Development
Background:
- Extended-scope practitioner roles are increasing for nurses and allied health professionals in the UK.
- Limited research exists on facilitators and barriers to continuing professional development (CPD) for this group.
- This review addresses issues influencing CPD participation for nurses and allied health professionals.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review factors influencing continuing professional development (CPD) participation among UK nurses and allied health professionals.
- To identify facilitators and barriers to CPD engagement for these healthcare professionals.
- To develop a conceptual model for optimizing CPD in healthcare settings.
Main Methods:
- A literature search was conducted on databases using keywords related to CPD and professional competence.
- Relevant papers published in English between 2006 and 2010 were selected.
- A narrative synthesis was performed on 133 selected papers.
Main Results:
- Over 900 papers were initially identified, with 133 selected for review.
- Factors influencing CPD were categorized as supra-organizational, organizational, and personal.
- Crucial support from managers and colleagues was identified as critical for CPD.
Conclusions:
- A conceptual model illustrating the multi-faceted nature of CPD was constructed.
- The model can assist clinicians and managers in optimizing CPD.
- It aids in identifying and addressing hindrances to CPD in the workplace.

01:25Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.

01:25Continuing Care
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...
01:18Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

01:22The Professional Nurse
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.
