MELSIG event, 20 January 2015 Nottingham University
(in)formal CPD?
• Conception that only formal CPD is proper CPD? (King, 2004; Crawford, 2009)
• non-formal, practice-based activities also CPD > the “invisible curriculum” (Blackmore & Castley, 2006)
• after PgCert no engagement in CPD (TESEP, 2007) > no formal engagement perhaps?
