We asked yesterday: what’s your realistic CPD window?
Here’s what you told us 👇
45% said 30 minutes
35% said 1 hour
20% said… “what is free time?!”
So if you’ve been waiting for a free afternoon to do CPD… you’re not alone.
The reality? Most learning happens in small, practical moments that fit around everything else.
And that still counts.

In an ideal world, sure. In real life? Not always possible.
Sometimes good CPD looks like 10 quiet minutes before clinic, a quick podcast on the go, or finding the one answer you need at the right moment.
What’s your most realistic CPD window - 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or “what is free time?”

This Diabetes Week (8–14 June), the focus is on stigma - and the impact it has on care.
Bias isn’t always obvious. It can quietly shape how we communicate, what we assume, and how patients are heard.
None of us sets out to do harm. But it’s worth reflecting - what could be influencing our behaviour without us realising?
Our latest Pearl explores unconscious bias in healthcare - and why it matters.
