If this is how you feel, then this is the book for you! Developing your own PLP should be a quick and easy way to identify your learning needs, and a rewarding experience as you see your portfolio grow through your educational year. This book is written by two experienced authors who fully understand the need for a direct, no-nonsense approach. The first part provides you with the basic principles from which to launch your own PLP. The second part, based on the successful "Update Toolkit 2000", provides a step-by-step guide to the PLP framework with full explanations of how to complete each step. This book will also help those with responsibility for developing Practice Development Plans. A framework is provided for the PDP along with advice on how to incorporate your individual PLPs into this, and it also addresses the team issues that you will face. Remember, your plan is a living document, and this book is intended as a companion as you continually review your needs and those of your practice.
