PHARMD GURU Page 4 PROFESSIONAL AUDIT:  A professional audit involves systematic evaluation of professional work against set standards.  Professional audit is a useful tool when reflecting on our learning needs. Critical reflection on the information provided by an audit can act as a stimulus to help identify individual learning needs. READING AND CONTINUING EDUCATION EVENTS:  Active reading of journal articles and the participation in CE activities such as workshops can often encourage the wider exploration of an area of personal development.  The consideration of questions such as those found in the ‘Checkpoint’ sections at the start of the chapters in this book can be a useful tool.  The questions can act as a prompt to ask: ‘is this subject relevant to my practice and how can I apply this knowledge?’ REFLECTING ON RPSGB AREAS OF COMPETENCE:  Another approach is to regularly take stock of our competence by matching our own self-assessed competence against published criteria.  Having looked at different opportunities to reflect on practice we now need to set specific learning objectives.  The SMART acronym is a useful tool when setting objectives.  S – Specific: the objective should state clearly what it is that you want to be able to do.  M – Measurable: will it be possible to determine if you have met your learning objective?  A – Achievable: will it be possible to achieve your objective when you take into account resources such as time, cost and support?
