Continuing professional development (CPD) is essential for radiographers to maintain and update their specialised knowledge base in light of constant professional changes. CPD is the continuous and systematic maintenance, improvement, and broadening of knowledge and skills and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional and technical duties. Professional and regulatory bodies are increasingly relying on proof of CPD through a variety of learning opportunities to provide evidence of clinical competence. Importantly, CPD has been linked not only to competence but also to motivation and job satisfaction. However, for CPD to be embraced fully, the individual needs to see how activity can be planned and recorded in a way that is meaningful to them in the context of their career aspirations. This article will review basic principles of why evidence is needed for CPD, what constitutes evidence (direct and indirect), and how that evidence can be presented. This will be discussed in the context of having a longer-term career vision, and embedded within Donner and Wheeler's five-phase career planning and development model. R ESUM E Le perfectionnement professionnel continu (PPC) est essentiel pour permettre aux radiographes de maintenir et de mettre a jour leur base de connaissances sp ecialis ees au vu de l' evolution continuelle de la profession. Le PPC est « l'entretien, l'am elioration et l' elargissement continu et syst ematique des connaissances et des comp etences et le d eveloppement des qualit es personnelles requises pour l'ex ecution des tâches professionnelles et techniques » Henwood (2000). Les organismes professionnels et r eglementaires s'appuient de plus en plus sur les preuves de PPC par une vari et e d'occasions d'apprentissage dans la d etermination de la comp etence clinique. Il est important de noter que le PPC est li e non seulement aux comp etences, mais aussi a la motivation et a la satisfaction au travail. Cependant, pour que le PPC soit adopt e pleinement, l'individu doit pouvoir constater de quelle façon les activit es peuventêtre planifi ees et consign ees d'une façon significative pour lui dans le contexte de des aspirations de carri ere. Cet article passe en revue les principes de base autour desquels s'articule le besoin de preuves du PPC, ce qui constitue une preuve (directe ou indirecte) et comment ces preuves peuventêtre pr esent ees. Ces el ements sont trait es dans le contexte d'une vision de carri ere a long terme, et inscrite dans le mod ele de planification et d eveloppement de carri ere en cinq phases d evelopp e par Donner & Wheeler (2001).
