RCN Accreditation
The RCN accredits learning and training initiatives for a diverse range of clients who want to guarantee that their initiatives are up to date, of the highest quality, effective in educating nurses and the wider health care family, and promote best practice.
Accreditation involves peer review by expert representatives drawn from clinical, management and educational fields of practice who have the appropriate professional background and experience.
Why choose RCN Accreditation?
Promoting your learning and training initiatives as RCN accredited will automatically associate them with the RCN’s high standards and commitment to professional development.
The RCN has more than 390,000 members from the nursing family. We are recognised for actively promoting the art and science of nursing and the value of quality services.
The RCN ‘seal of approval’ will ensure your learning and training initiatives stand out and appeal to nurses and managers who need to choose the most effective use of their time and money. They will know that they are accessing a learning initiative of the highest quality when they attend an event or use a resource that has RCN Accreditation.
We include a model for structured reflection for delegates to use, to reflect on their experiences and to capture their learning. This can be kept in nurses’ PREP (post-registration education and practice) portfolio and contributes towards their continuing professional development..
Certificates are provided to nurses who attend RCN accredited events, demonstrating evidence of the study hours required to keep them up to date. So knowing that an initiative has been accredited will appeal to nurses.
