Which statement about the personal development plan (PDP) is incorrect?

The statement that each activity can have only one development outcome is incorrect because in a personal development plan (PDP), a single activity can contribute to multiple development outcomes. This allows for a more comprehensive approach to professional growth, as various skills and knowledge can be gained from a single experience or activity.

For instance, a workshop on new dental technologies may enhance clinical skills while also improving patient communication and management abilities. By recognizing that one activity can lead to several outcomes, registrants can better document and reflect on their learning experiences, ultimately enhancing their continuous professional development. Each of the other statements correctly reflects aspects of personal development plans, highlighting the need for annual eCPD statements, the importance of reflection in completed activities, and ensuring that continuing professional development (CPD) remains relevant to one's field of practice.
