Nursing

Guidance and supporting information for nursing courses.

Nursing BSc (All branches)

The NMC Information Hub – link above – contains a range of help, advice, guides and information. It covers the roles of supervisors, academic assessors and practice assessors. It also describes the importance of a positive and inclusive learning culture in both practice and simulated settings, enabling students to be the best future professionals they can be.

The NMC guidance sets out possible ways that our standards may be met but it’s not a series of standards and expectations for what ‘must’ be done. NMC standards can be met in other ways, as long as they’re fulfilled, upholds public protection and supports students to meet their learning outcomes and our standards.

The practice learning scenarios can help you understand how our standards of proficiency will work and should be implemented in the real world.
