"The book should serve as a useful resource for physiotherapy
departments, those with a particular responsibility for promoting
and organising CPD, and university libraries."

"Those with more theoretical interests in the subject should
find it a comprehensive survey of the dimensions of CPD for the
therapy professions of today."

Physiotherapy Journal

"Auldeen Alsop's excellent book provides a timely
source of reference for therapists who wish to develop their own
CPD."

"This publication offers an invaluable addition to any
therapy department library, and is a resource that should be sought
out by individual therapists who are undertaking responsibility for
their own CPD."
