Abstract

Oncology clinicians must participate in continuing professional development (CPD) to stay up to date with best practice. The Cancer Institute NSW eviQ Education program produces evidence-based, peer-reviewed eLearning resources for oncology professionals. In response to user feedback, eviQ Education trialled a mobile app, EdApp, to improve accessibility of self-directed CPD materials. Following a pilot, users indicated that the EdApp improved CPD accessibility and user experience. EdApp will continue to be used to support evidence-based practice.
