The Welsh Assembly Government commissioned the development of
learning resources to support the implementation of the Mental
Health Act 2007 in Wales.
These learning resources have been developed to ensure that
educational material is accessible to all staff and organisations
affected by the legislative changes.
The resources focus on the changes introduced by the Mental
Health Act 2007 and the related provisions of the Mental Health Act
1983 Code of Practice for Wales.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
CPD is a key contribution to
promoting life-long learning, at its core, CPD requires
pshychiatrists to maintain, develop and remedy any deficits in the
knowledge and skills relevant to their professional work.
CPD participation is central to maintaining standards within
clinical governance and is likely to have a key role in
revalidation.
The College considers that individual psychiatrists should now
preplan their CPD activities to ensure relevance to the work that
they do.
Personal Development
Plans (PDPs) have been introduced as the mechanism
for achieving CPD objectives.
