Continuous Professional Development is a milestone for any scientific association. During the current debate about the role and relevance of the SIMeL Working groups, held in Villa Tacchi (Padua) last March, the recent White Paper on the regulation of Healthcare Professions in Britain and how its content could impact on professional education was a matter for general debate. Here we present the King’s Fund opinions on the document. The authoritative independent Foundation shows strengths and weaknesses of the proposals and foresees risks and opportunities. A short summary of their principal issues is reported here, aiming to stimulate opinions and ideas possibly relevant for the Italian healthcare System and the old and new professions involved in the daily patient care.
