Your Professional Development Plan 

Creating a professional development plan (PDP) is a mandatory requirement. It allows you to plan your activities during the year and set out goals for your personal development. By creating a PDP at the beginning of the year, it can be used to reflect on and monitor your progress throughout the year, including planning how your activities will match your annual PCS requirements and review how many credits you think you will be able to accumulate during the year.

To achieve the best results in professional performance, PDPs need to be prospective rather than retrospective.

PDPs should consider all the various roles that you fulfil in your job and the steps you need to take to update your knowledge, maintain your experience and improve your skills if necessary.

How to create your plan

• Sign in to the PCS Portal PCS Portal to begin your plan.
• Click on the 'PCS plan' tile and complete your plan by identifying events, meetings, learning materials or discussion topics that will assist you in meeting your requirements. Your CPD activities must cover each of the eight domains of good professional practice at least once in a three-year period.
• Once you have your plan created and submitted, you will receive 5 CPD credits.
• If you send your plan to be reviewed by a colleague, both you and the reviewer will receive an additional CPD credit in the work-based learning category.
• If you reflect on your plan at the end of the year, you will receive an additional CPD credit in the work-based learning category.
