Setting your personal objectives

To get the most from this module, take some time to consider your own personal learning objectives for the course.

You may find it helpful to reflect on:

• what you already know about the course
• your current role within the multidisciplinary team (MDT)
• your continuing professional development needs

When setting your learning objectives, think about what you would like to achieve. Try to make your objectives SMART and ensure they are realistic, meaningful and motivating.

Choose a small number of goals that relate to your own learning needs and professional ambitions. These could range from:

• “I will know the names and contact details of MDT members in my area”
• “I will be able to design a new communication process for my MDT”

You can find more information about setting SMART objectives here.

It may also be useful to record the objectives you set using this personal objectives template. You can save the completed template to your own computer for future reference.

You are now ready to begin week one of the course.
