dc.description.abstractThis paper aims to give an overview of the 'professional doctorate' and its special characteristics. Some of the differences between this and a traditional Doctor of Philosophy are considered, and a short reflection gives insight into the author's personal doctoral journey. The professional doctorate as a structured programme for experienced practitioners to develop and advance their practice is explored, with the interprofessional aspect of a cohort-based programme stressed as a positive factor in the student's journey. As reflection and reflexivity are embedded within the professional doctorate, it is seen as especially appropriate for current healthcare practice.
