My first CPD point 2012

So excited that I earned my first CPD point (Continuing Professional Development) for the year 2012 last Saturday.

Since the implementation of compulsory CPD points by the MPS this year for renewal of our pharmacist annual retention cert...it definitely made me all panic and worried for while. I was actually very worried when I first heard about it. Especially that I am not active in the working world...how to obtain information about talks etc???


After reading more about how to obtain the points...which I have totally neglected since being a pharmacist in 2000....yes yes...I am one lazy bum...it is not that difficult to obtain the points. It is definitely on my own initiative to make the move and get my butt moving. Last time when working full time and before becoming a mother...no problem. I still attended talks on weekends etc. But after being a mother, somehow time is precious and CPE takes second seat or practically becomes non-existent.

So, after attending my first talk last Saturday (after a lloooooong time)...it felt good. It felt good to be kept up to date again. Well, let's see whether I can continue this drive for another 14 other talks or to do CPE online which I am gonna start soon.
