NMC Standards For Student Supervision and Assessment

The Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) set standards of proficiency for nurses and midwives in relation to education. These reflect the role of the nurse or midwife in contemporary healthcare. 

Part 2 of the standards relate to student supervision and assessment and are more outcome focused. They separate out supervision and assessment, and students are assigned to a practice supervisor, practice assessor and an academic assessor. This resource area will enable you to meet the NMC outcomes to undertake the roles and keep yourself up to date.

Programme Standards: These programme standards should be read with the NMC Standards framework for nursing and midwifery education and Standards for student supervision and assessment which apply to all NMC approved programmes. There must be compliance with all these standards for an education institution to be approved and to run any NMC approved programme.

Future Nurse Poficiencies: The Nursing and Midwifery Council has a duty to review the standards of proficiency it sets for the professions it registers on a regular basis to ensure that standards remain contemporary and fit for purpose in order to protect the public.
