learning refers to the continuous building of skills and knowledge through experiences<br />

Linked to the concept of life-long professional learning, discipline specific professional<br />
associations and professional registration boards have guidelines regarding specific<br />
education requirements <strong>for</strong> their profession. This includes meeting continuing professional<br />
development (CPD) requirements and maintaining CPD portfolios. However, self-directed<br />
and lifelong learning is an attitudinal approach which should be modelled by all senior<br />
<strong>allied</strong> <strong>health</strong> <strong>professionals</strong> over the course of their career.
