The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of personal education plans (PEPs) as a method of continuing professional development (CPD), by means of a questionnaire, analysis of completed PEP reports, and in-depth interviews. The setting was the Yorkshire Deanery, and the participants were general practitioners (GPs) who had completed a PEP. The main outcome measures were reported identification of learning needs, educational methods used, and support received. GPs' views were received on their experiences of undertaking PEPs, personal and professional development, and changes in patient care that resulted from their PEPs. Personal impression was the most frequently used method of deciding on learning needs. A variety of educational methods were used, the most frequent being personal reading, practical sessions, and taught courses. The majority of respondents felt that they were well supported by their GP tutors, and that the PEP had helped them to enhance their personal knowledge and skills, as well as to improve service to patients. There were gains in terms of increased confidence and self-awareness. Most were keen to use PEPs in future, and hoped to involve other members of the practice. Our results suggest that PEPs are an effective method of CPD in that they frequently lead to reported changes in patient care, and personal and professional development of the learner.
本研究旨在通过问卷调查、对已完成的个人教育计划（PEP）报告进行分析以及深入访谈，评估将个人教育计划作为继续职业发展（CPD）方法的使用情况。研究背景为约克郡地区，参与者为已完成个人教育计划的全科医生（GP）。主要结局指标包括报告的学习需求识别、所采用的教育方法以及获得的支持。收集了全科医生对其参与个人教育计划的经历、个人和职业发展以及个人教育计划带来的患者护理变化的看法。个人印象是确定学习需求最常用的方法。采用了多种教育方法，最常见的是个人阅读、实践课程和讲授课程。大多数受访者认为他们得到了全科医生导师的良好支持，并且个人教育计划帮助他们提高了个人知识和技能，以及改善了对患者的服务。在增强信心和自我意识方面有所收获。大多数人渴望在未来使用个人教育计划，并希望让诊所的其他成员参与进来。我们的结果表明，个人教育计划是一种有效的继续职业发展方法，因为它们经常导致报告的患者护理变化以及学习者的个人和职业发展。
