Welcome to the first module in our Continuing Professional Development Section (CPD). CPD is now a key element in the clinical activity of all health professionals and a cornerstone of good clinical governance throughout mental health services. This section of the Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine will provide CPD modules dedicated to key topics in mental health care. In order to assist learning and self-assessment, multiple choice questions will be provided at the end of each module. This module and its multiple choice questions are available online on the website of the Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine (www.ijpm.org). The CPD policy of the College of Psychiatry of Ireland indicates that psychiatrists who participate in suitable online learning which fits the criteria for CPD may claim CPD points under the Personal CPD category (up to a maximum of 5 points per year). We are confident that this CPD Section of the Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine will prove to be a valuable resource for consultant psychiatrists, psychiatric trainees and all journal readers. We welcome feedback from readers and, especially, any suggestions for topics to be covered in future CPD modules. Suggestions should be emailed to: psychological@medmedia.ie.
欢迎来到我们继续职业发展板块（CPD）的第一个模块。CPD如今是所有医疗专业人员临床活动的关键要素，也是整个心理健康服务中良好临床治理的基石。《爱尔兰心理医学杂志》的这一板块将提供专注于心理健康护理关键主题的CPD模块。为了辅助学习和自我评估，每个模块末尾都会提供多项选择题。本模块及其多项选择题可在《爱尔兰心理医学杂志》网站（www.ijpm.org）上在线获取。爱尔兰精神病学学院的CPD政策表明，参与符合CPD标准的适当在线学习的精神科医生可在个人CPD类别下申请CPD学分（每年最多5分）。我们相信，《爱尔兰心理医学杂志》的这个CPD板块将被证明是顾问精神科医生、精神科实习医生以及所有期刊读者的宝贵资源。我们欢迎读者反馈，尤其是关于未来CPD模块涵盖主题的任何建议。建议请发送电子邮件至：psychological@medmedia.ie。
