These modules are based on the notion that specialist, research-based practice, with a goal to implement change for an improvement in the quality of care, cannot be undertaken without regard for, and considerable understanding of, issues of quality assurance as well as the financial, logistical and other aspects which impinge upon effective management and organisation of clinical care. Each module offered at Level 2 carries an ENB Certificate. The particular set of modules chosen being determined by the practitioners' field of specialism, their own professional development needs, and the service needs. The Framework for Continuing Professional Education is for registered practitioners of nursing or midwifery who have a minimum of one year post registration experience or its equivalent. The importance of clinical practice to the completion of modules is reflected in the assessment strategy.
Assessment is by course work for submission normally at the end of each module.
Where extra time is required then an extension may be negotiated. Practice assessment is required as the Framework is practice based and provides a practice orientated qualification. Last updated 30 September 1996.
