What is CPD?Continuing professional development
A range of learning activities through which professionals maintain and develop throughout their career to ensure that they continue to be able to practice safely, effectively, and legally, within their changing scope of practice.
Overview of the KSF
The KSF is a development tool designed to:identify the knowledge and skills that individuals need to apply in their post;provide a fair framework on which to base review and development of all staff; and support clinical governance.
HCPC standards for CPD say that a registrant must:
1. Maintain a continuous, up-to-date and accurate record of their CPD activities;
2. Demonstrate that their CPD activities are a mixture of learning activities relevant to current or future practice
3. Seek to ensure that their CPD has contributed to the quality of their practice and service delivery
4. Seek to ensure that their CPD benefits the service user
5. Upon request, present a written profile (which must be their own work and supported by evidence) explaining how they have met the standards for CPD.

Is using Twitter professional? What the HCPC say
# Recognise social networking sites are a useful way of communicating and sharing information
# Information placed on social networking sites is in the public domain and can therefore be viewed by other people.
# The HCPC will only be concerned if your use raises concerns about your fitness to practise.
# For example, - putting confidential information
#TeesOT
HCPC – Your ResponsibilityMake sure that when you use social Networking Sites, your usage is consistent with the HCPC standards.
# You must act in the best interests of service users.
# You must respect the confidentiality of service users.
# You must keep high standards of personal conduct.
# You must behave with honesty and integrity and make sure that your behaviour does not damage the public’s confidence in you or your profession.
#TeesOT
Think before you Tweet Think about whether it is appropriate to share that information.
If the information is confidential and is about your service user, patient, client or colleague, you should not put it on a site.
This could include information about their personal life, health or circumstances.
You may use social networking sites to share your views and opinions. However, the HCPC might need to take action if the comments posted were offensive, for example if they were racist or sexually explicit.

Some examples
@DavidCameron is a F***ing idiot the #BedroomTax is going to create a bigger gap between #MH SU’s and the general public
However the use of language would be seen as unprofessional
I disagree with @davidCameron the #BedroomTax will create a bigger gap between #MH SU’s and the general Public.
Really enjoying my placement at Roseberry Park hospital with @boothrach learnt loads from Bob in today art group.
Keep places and service users out of Tweets
My experience in acute mental health, and running art groups is teaching me lots, I’m going to reflect on it

#TeesOT
What is Storify# Storify helps making sense of what people post on social media. Our
users create the most important voices and turn them into stories.# They are building a new information network that will give you the social
perspective on any event.
# Basically if you create an account you can the drag information from all your social networking sites and websites to make a story of an event and how you where included for your CPD – this website was recommended to be used within a twitter chat with the HCPC

I sent out a Tweet about doing this presentation and this is the responses I got.

#TeesOT
Blogging # Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.
# Many blogs focus on a particular topic, And others are more like personal journals, presenting the author's daily life and thoughts, maybe about their Career.
# Again you need to remember to act professional on these sites.
# Be aware not all blogs will be Evidence based, so be careful.
