6. Standards of proficiency for the future nurse
We will separate standards for graduate registered nurses from the standards for institutions.
The new standards will:
embrace the values set out in the Code
be outcomes focused and open to objective assessment
be sufficiently future proofed (2030 graduates)
be accessible to the public
be unambiguous, transparent and succinct

7. Reflections so far What do stakeholders want?
Emphasis on production of nurses and midwives who are intelligent critical thinkers, leaders, able to work safely in a variety of settings (hospital, community, acute physical illness and mental health) in the future
Confident and competent in terms of “technical ability”, now
What is the view of the current position? (IFF research)
Actual standards – content not controversial
Vulnerability around learning in practice
Insufficient clarity around technical skills at the point of registration
Implications for: Standards for learning and assessment in practice, four fields issues, hours in practice, nature of preceptorship, interplay of this work with degree apprenticeships. Four countries issues.

We plan to publish a new education framework for institutions in early 2018.
The framework will:
Contain a single set of clear, consistent and outcome focused standards for education institutions and practice placement partners
Place patient safety at the core of our standards
Promote an inter-professional learning culture
Future proof our education model
The review of practice assessment and practice hours is included in the education framework project.
