Abstract

Continuous professional development (CPD) accreditors and emergency care (EC) employers are indispensable in designing learning opportunities. However, there is a paucity of research about how they can contribute to and enhance CPD. This study explored accreditors and employers’ experiences of CPD provision and how it could be improved. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with accreditor and employer stakeholders. Data were subject to thematic analysis. Employers wanted to be more engaged in CPD decision-making and collaborate with the regulator. CPD lacked quality control mechanisms, accountability and responsibility. CPD formats, topics and types should be relevant and link theory to practice. Accreditors indicated that CPD guidelines should be revised and be specific to the Professional Board of Emergency Care, and the regulator should provide online CPD activities. CPD requires a multi-layered, multi-modal approach. To be effective and relevant, CPD requires collaboration between EC stakeholders, including accreditors, the employers, the regulator and practitioners over its the format and content.
提供紧急护理CPD的认证机构和雇主经验
持续专业发展(CPD)认证机构和急诊护理(EC)雇主在设计学习机会方面是不可或缺的。然而,关于他们如何促进和加强CPD的研究却很缺乏。这项研究探讨了认证机构和雇主在持续专业进修方面的经验,以及如何改进。与认证机构和雇主利益相关者进行了半结构化访谈。数据以专题分析为准。雇主希望更多地参与CPD决策,并与监管机构合作。CPD缺乏质量控制机制、问责制和责任感。CPD的形式、主题和类型应具有相关性,并将理论与实践联系起来。认证机构指出,应修订CPD指南,并针对紧急护理专业委员会,监管机构应提供在线CPD活动。CPD需要多层次、多模式的方法。为使持续专业进修课程更有效和切合实际,持续专业进修课程的形式和内容需要在认证机构、雇主、规管机构和从业员等有关人士之间进行合作。
