For some time CPD (/CPE) has often been viewed by professionals – especially senior people – as a waste of their time. This has resulted in a tick-box exercise with limited impact.

Real reflective learning is relevant, supports career development and has lasting benefits. It is impossible to mandate it. So how can it be encouraged?
