Professional Development Programme

A professional development program is a broad term encompassing the opportunities your facility offers nurses to support their clinical practice and role advancement. Your program will be unique based on its size, needs, and resources. However, the most significant influence your facility can have is to provide education time and resources, which nurses cite as their biggest barriers to learning.
Creating professional development opportunities for nurses is a hefty responsibility. Most organizations use internal resources for new hires and day-to-day training needs. Some facilities manage their continuing professional development internally, while others outsource it to a trusted third-party provider.
