Abstract
In this article we argue that there has been increasing "commercialization" of CPD (by employers, professional associations, universities and training providers) which has led to short-term approaches, impoverished learning and a distorted view of knowledge. We argue that universities must not collude in that process but must encourage critical dialogue between all the parties which have a stake in CPD. Universities can play a key role of `interested neutrality' and in this role are uniquely placed to facilitate inter-professional communication, to build dialogue which will enhance long term approaches to CPD and enrich learning and knowledge.
