In Response to Re: CPD on doc2doc: Platnium envy - not at all - I'm nearly there myself. I'm all in favour of CPD via Doc2Doc - particularly given hte amount of time I spend on here! Posted by DrS We have an electonic diary for CPD called Portfoliio and we are getting doc2doc activity linked to it. It should be ready soon- I will check now where it is in the scheme of things.You can see portfolio if you google BMJ portfoilio and it is free. |

In Response to Re: CPD on doc2doc: I would have a button one presses saying MyCPD which means that this entry gets recorded. It could be down the bottom or an icon next to my platinum gong...just an idea. We need a cyber depository we can open of our CPD comments which ideally could be uploaded into our own State-Run Bureaucratic Knightmare CPD slops bucket. As this may be audited, I think we should show up top that this topic is CPD worthy. It may take some argie-bargie to decide this. More journal articles which can be hyperlinked so we can read them and thus put in our "reflective comments" etc. This would formalise a journal club but they could come outside this. A topic worthy may also be "how should we treat ILD" as has been done. This was useful. Practice management stuff eg how do you audit results, where they end up, actioned etc and who files them and where eg paper and cyber. It could be on coping with shift work or sleep issues or depression in doctors...just thoughts. Finally I would like to accrue CPD for the Canberra Death Eaters in an enjoyable way as possible. Let's do it. My Dream: My dream would be to have eg the BMJ have a conference in cyber reality and not in London. This is possible now with Skype. (I have other dreams decorum prevents my sharing). I envisage in 20 to 50 years there will be few real conferences and that people will have them in virtual reality and in 3D. THe traditional conference organisers are still back in the days of steam. When one considers the total cost including ecological for each international meeting, the cost including lost wages, avgas, hotels, taxis, alcohol and call girls (just joking) is staggering. Aside: I regard the BMJ as the Spitfire in a time when biplanes were still regarded as more stable and manoevrable. Indeed the Italians sent a squadron of biplanes to help the Luftwaffe against England in the Battle of Britain and with predictable results. I only wish the Med J Aust was as visionary as Fighter Command and the BMJ. They are luddites. PS. Last year I was on the Education Committee of the RANZCP which met in Sydney but without call girls. MyCPD is its brain child and although it has its deficiencies still, it works. I don't think bean counters really understand that we learn and correct each hour with computers. We learn in regular bytes not gigabytes, conferences get to much loading and writing a paper which could take hundreds of hours, get too little. These are personal opinions. Posted by Odysseus As an example of CPD at work: 1. A few days ago I asked on doc2doc how do others treat xerostomia? 2. Yoram listed what he did. 3. I then wrote an article on this subject (expanded) for my own website and blog. 4. I remembered a patient whose photo I had taken of her dry mouth and rotten teeth. 5. I got her written permission to use this and talked to her by phone (she is about 1000 miles away). 6. I go to our pharmacy and asked them what they have of Yoram's list. 7. Pharmacy wrote back and listed Rx and talked more. She says the radiotherapy unit also use bicarb mouth washes. 8. do a literature search and find a good article (review) in Australian Prescriber. 9. I learn there are more conditions that cause this. The article does not mention sarcoidosis. 10. I amended my article. 11. Patient yesterday (with dry mouth from hell) coincidentally comes back to see me. I send her to pharmacy to talk more to pharmacy staff. 12. She buys some more stuff she hasn't tried. They tell her some things suit some people better than others. I did ot know this. 13. I amend the way I do things. 14. I get back a letter from rheumatologist who has just seen my patient (above in 11). He observes she is a mouth breather but does not have Sjogren's (as I had thought). 15. I think how can we treat this. Think of CPAP patients. Recommend a chin strap at night. 16. Article nearly ready for my blog and website with photo. 17. I am happy to link this to doc2doc or make it available. This is CPD in action. Result: This makes me a better doctor, at least I think I am have more strings to my bow now and my patient with an incurable disease has a better quality of life.
