Practice-based learning
Find out how practice-based learning is changing
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) introduced new education standards in May 2018 to reflect the scope and requirements of current nursing practice.
The introduction of these Standards for education and training will not just have implications for nursing and midwifery students, nurse apprenticeships and trainee nursing associates.
The standards also affect nurses who wish to return to practice, all registered nurses, midwives, nursing associates, approved education institutions and practice placement providers.
