Developing your career
'If you fail to plan you plan to fail'. How true, but most dental professionals do not plan their CPD. The introduction of the enhanced CPD scheme means that holding a PDP is no longer a recommendation but a requirement. We provide a free Excel template to help ensure that you not only keep the GDC happy, but also make the most of the time you devote to your professional development.

The enhanced CPD scheme makes holding a personal development plan and submitting an annual record of CPD activities mandatory. Creating a carefully crafted personal development plan need not take long, will help you optimise the time you devote to professional development, and develop your career. We have created an Excel spreadsheet to help you do precisely this. You do not have to have a desktop version of Excel because there are free mobile and online apps, and if you store it securely in 'the cloud' you can have ready access 24/7/365.
