3 Our objectives Raise the ambition for nursing and midwifery, for the benefit of people, families and communities Maximise the quality and safety of nursing and midwifery education and training Ensure that regulation is fit for purpose, and not a barrier to individual and service development

4 Future nurse proficiencies and standards for education and training Consultations June to September 2017 Council approval - March 2018 Final standards published May 2018 Anticipated that future nurse proficiencies come into force January 2019 First cohort of students expected March 2019 but all students on new programmes by September 2020

5 Structure of the new standards

6 How to use the standards

7 Standards of proficiency for registered nurses

8 The main changes: one One set of proficiencies that apply to all fields of nursing however Registration to a specific field(s) of nursing practice continues Precise skills and procedure annexes that apply to all fields of nursing that also indicate where greater field specific emphasis and depth of knowledge and proficiency is required

9 The main changes: two Evidence-based, person-centred approach to mental and physical care Increased focus on public health and supporting health and lifestyle choices Readiness to deliver future care at homes or closer to home settings Nurses taking an increased leadership role in the management and delivery of care Inclusion of prescribing theory is now part of the proficiencies

13 Main changes Clearly defined lay out Measurable, outcome focussed Strengthened emphasis on effective partnerships between AEI and practice placement partners Increased focus on areas such as learning culture, safety, Equality and Diversity, service user involvement and interprofessional working

14

15 Principles of our new standards for student supervision and assessment Benefits: Separate supervision and assessment roles Increase consistency in assessment judgments Avoid failing to fail Improve inter-professional working Enhance joint working between AEI s and practice placement partners Supporting students becomes everyone s responsibility (as enshrined in The Code) Everyone will have an input to assessment

16 Considerations What supervision and assessment model will work across Scotland? Does one size fit all? AEI and practice placement partnership decisions who, what, how, when? Who are your supervisors and assessors?

17

18 Main changes More flexibility for AEIs and practice placement partners in how they design, deliver and manage their programmes Revised entry requirements Potential for innovation through simulation Prior learning and experience standards are more outcomes focussed Better explanation of supernumerary

19 Considerations Need for effective partnerships between AEIs and practice placement partners Explicit relationship with Standards framework for nursing and midwifery education and training Parts 1 and 2 Clear relationship to Standards of proficiency for registered nurses required

21 Royal Pharmaceutical Society Competency Framework A Competency Framework for All Prescribers (June 2016) Adoption approved by Council 28 March 2018 Comes into effect from 28 January 2019 All new programmes must deliver the RPS competencies as their course outcomes Forms basis of competencies for safe and effective prescribing practice All current practice standards and associated circulars withdrawn from that date

22 Types of prescribing qualifications V100: Community practitioner nurse or midwife prescriber as part of an integrated programme V150: A stand-alone prescribing course for nurse or midwives who have not undertaken the community practitioner V300: independent/ supplementary prescriber

23 Considerations Need for effective partnerships between AEIs and practice placement partners Explicit relationship with Standards framework for nursing and midwifery education and training Parts 1 and 2 Clear relationship to RPS competency framework required Identification of type of prescriber needed in line with policy direction

24 Review of standards of proficiency for midwives

25 Review of midwifery education standards

26 Post registration standards

27 Post registration standards We have commissioned an independent evaluation of our current SCPHN and SPQ standards Blake Stephenson has been appointed to undertake this evaluation The evaluation will include quantitative and qualitative evaluation methodologies This work is expected to conclude in early 2019.

28 Public confidence in the care by nurses and midwives In summary vital things to consider: Preparation for significant change Partnerships between universities and practice placement providers Placement opportunities to meet proficiencies what could be different? Practice supervision and assessment new approaches to agree and implement
