Continuing Professional Development
Continuing professional development (regularly upgrading your knowledge and skills) is essential to maintaining high levels of professional competence.
We have created the document below to assist clinical coders, coding supervisors and coding managers in giving evidence of professional study to support career and personal development.
It’s only offered as a suggested portfolio of evidence as these are personal documents. However you are welcome to adapt it to support your own needs which will always differ considerably from person to person.
Why should you maintain a portfolio of professional development evidence?
Developing a portfolio of evidence:
- shows you’re maintaining and enhancing your skills within the workplace
- gives you a reference point for updating your CV
- helps you identify current and future training needs; and
- improves your future employability.
