Abstract
The 21st century has seen the emergent need for continuing professional development (CPD) within the health and medical professions to address not only the individual needs of clinicians to ensure their knowledge is current but that it serves a greater collective purpose in relation to the healthcare workforce. From a theoretical perspective, seminal epistemological theories of learning remain unchanged, but the challenge of how best to facilitate disciplinary experts in remaining motivated and passionate about learning opportunities amidst the pressures of their daily workloads remains an issue for address. This chapter provides an insight into contemporary approaches to CPD within the context of applied praxis.
