In this episode, our host Dr Penelope Elix sits down with Dr Ellen Paton (Medical Council of NSW) and Katrina Otto (Train IT Medical) to unpack why Continuing Professional Development so often feels like a chore — and why it doesn’t have to.

CPD has a reputation for being tedious, yet as our guests remind us, “CPD is just formalising what we need to do and what doctors are already doing.”
