Incorporating Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice Into Nursing Staff Continuing Professional Development.

Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCDP) is an innovative concept used to teach a sequence of predetermined skills to learners in a short period of time. When implemented correctly, learners build on their actions (deliberate practice) repeatedly, over a short period of time (rapid cycle). Incorporating RCDP into a nursing mandatory education program has improved both the satisfaction of the staff attending a mandatory education day and improved their response to patients in cardiac arrest.
