These will cover two platforms within the NMC 2018 Future Nurse Standards of Proficiency: Platform 3- Assessing needs and planning care and Platform 6 - Improving safety and quality of care (LO 2)
Episode of care - The practice assessor/supervisors and student will identify an appropriate episode of direct care involving caring for people with increasingly complex health and social care needs.
