About the SPPP Guide

The Supporting Physicians' Professionalism and Performance (SPPP) framework is designed to add to the College's Professional Qualities Curriculum by helping Fellows and trainees reflect on their practice and performance and to identify areas of strength as well as opportunities for learning and professional development.

The framework within the SPPP Guide outlines ten core domains which together aim to describe what it means to be a "good doctor". The central component of this framework is medical expertise, which reflects the specific knowledge and skills of our chosen specialty area.

The SPPP Guide is primarily a self-reflection tool for use by individuals to help them understand their own performance. Although there may be many ways to use this framework, we anticipate most will use it proactively to plan their continuing professional development (CPD) activities.

Fellows and trainees may also utilise the SPPP Guide to improve their relationships with patients, colleagues and/or organisations. In some situations the SPPP framework may form the basis of discussions between colleagues or be used to contribute to an organisational performance development conversation.
