Future nurse: Pre-registration nurse education - are you involved?

摘要

In May 2018, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) published the long-awaited new standards of proficiency for registered nurses (NMC, 2018a). The proficiencies set out the knowledge and skills (proficiencies) that registered nurses must demonstrate and reflect public expectations. Alongside the new standards are: standards frameworks for education and training; student supervision and assessment; and standards for pre-registration nursing programmes (NMC, 2018b, 2018c, 2018d). Programmes meeting the new standards have been offered since the end of January 2019 and all higher education institution (HEI) providers will have to provide programmes that meet these standards by September 2020.
