The United Kingdom Nursing and Midwifery Council Future nurse: Standards of proficiency for registered nurses (NMC 2018a) require registrants to have the confidence and ability to think critically, apply knowledge and skills, and provide expert, evidence based, direct nursing care across health care settings.

Registered nurses must be able to meet the person-centred, holistic care needs of the people they encounter in their practice who may be at any stage of life and who may have a range of mental, physical, cognitive or behavioural health challenges.
Registrants “must also be able to demonstrate a greater depth of knowledge and the additional more advanced skills required to meet the specific care needs of people in their chosen fields of nursing practice.” (NMC 2018a, p.6).

The All Wales Practice Assessment strategy for pre-registration nursing programmes, which leads to entry to the professional register, identifies the process by which student performance is measured against NMC Future nurse: Standards of proficiency for registered nurses (NMC 2018a).

The proficiencies in this document specify the knowledge and skills that registered nurses must demonstrate when caring for people of all ages and across all care settings. They reflect what the public can expect nurses to know and be able to do in order to deliver safe, compassionate and effective nursing care

The content of the module is reflective of regulatory NMC standards, which underlines the knowledge and skills required of a proficient registered nurse, and as such the module addresses the components set out in Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the NMC’s Realising Professionalism Standards as well the Standards of Proficiency for Registered Nurses.

Mapping of future nurse proficiencies and annexe skills and procedures The Nursing and Midwifery Council (2018) Standards of proficiency for registered nurses identify the proficiencies, communication and relationship management skills and nursing procedures a student nurse must be able to demonstrate to enter the NMC professional register as a Registered Nurse Graduate.
