Personal Development Plan
In this assignment, I will reflect upon my clinical experience and my education to date. In doing this I will highlight potential areas of development needed and will address these through Personal Development Planning. The rationale for doing this assignment is to enhance my professional development by undertaking an annotated reflective report.
In this assignment I will focus and discuss my chosen theme which is Multi-disciplinary team working (MDT). This will mention roles within the MDT, skills for effective MDT working and responsibilities within the MDT. When focussing on my chosen theme within the Professional Development 2 module, I will complete a self assessment by reflecting upon my clinical and educational experience so far. I will use the NMC Proficiencies (2004) as a benchmark and these will be annotated throughout this assignment. NMC Proficiencies (2004) is a requirement for pre registration nurses to achieve in practice before they register as a nurse and practice professionally. From my self assessment I will complete a Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats analysis (SWOT) and a personal/professional development plan addressing the needs I have identified in my self assessment. My plan will focus on my final practice placement and the initial period after I qualify as a mental health nurse.
According to the British Medical Association (2009), the personal development plan (PDP), is a tool that can identify areas for further development and encourage lifelong learning. In my opinion, it acts as a process of planning, monitoring, assessment, and support to help staff develop their capabilities and potential to fulfil their job role and purpose. It is an approach to increase the effectiveness of the organisation 's performance through ongoing, constructive dialogue to ensure that everyone knows what is expected of them; gets feedback on performance; is able to identify and satisfy their development needs.
