Summary of
Monitoring Activity
L Barrowman
Quality Assurance of DHSSPS Commissioned Development and Education (Non-NMC Registered or Recorded
NIPEC is responsible for Quality Assuring a sample of the above activity agreed annually with DHSSPS
The activity is taken forward as specified within the Quality Assurance Framework agreed with the DHSSPS
Quality Assurance of DHSSPS Commissioned Development and Education (Non-NMC Registered or Recorded
A set of ten underpinning principles have been identified within the QA Framework against which activities are assessed and involve :
– Transparency of the provider’s intentions– Making best use of partnership working– Demonstrating links with improving patient
and client care– Providing value for money
Quality Assurance of DHSSPS Commissioned Development and Education (Non-NMC Registered or Recorded
All providers were monitored in relation to the funded development, which involved :– Reviewing documentation– Meeting with the senior staff who co-
ordinated the activity – Meeting with a sample of staff who
participated in the activity and their managers
– Writing a report

Summary of outcomes
All providers demonstrated an open and transparent manner
Overall activities demonstrated that participants were satisfied
A number of issues were identified for individual provider’s attention
A number of recommendations were made to the DHSSPS for consideration
Recommendations and considerations
To demonstrate links between the activity and improved patient/client care it was recommended that:– all activities should include an assessment
of practice outcome– follow-up questionnaires should be issued
to managers and participants 6 months following the activity
Recommendations and considerations
It was recommended that partnership working should be strengthened
It was also noted that more attention should be given to providing clear documentation to evidence planning, delivery and evaluation of development of practice activities

Education Seminar
20th February 2008
NIPEC Project
DHSSPS requested that NIPEC project manage the work required to implement the NMC Standards in Northern Ireland.
It was agreed to use a regional approach to the implementation
NIPEC Project
• A Steering Group was set up to oversee the work chaired by Eleanor Hayes
• A Project Group was set up to take forward the work in the stakeholder organisations, chaired by L Barrowman
• Both groups has representation from Independent and Health and Social Care Service and Education Providers
• A project plan was agreed• Project Officers were funded by the DHSSPS
Communication Strategy
• NIPEC web-site www.nipec.n-i.nhs.uk• Bulletins• Face to face meetings• Email • Phone
Key work areas
Three key areas were taken forward through the project;
• Mapping current mentors and practice teachers against NMC Standards
• Setting up local registers of mentors and practice teachers
• Developing mentor programmes
We will be providing an update of the current position
Mapping mentors and practice teachers
• Mapping tools were developed to facilitate this
• Phase 1 ending September 2007• Phase 2 ending February 2008
• Current position• HSC Trusts• Independent Sector
• Scoping exercise early March 2008
Local Registers – ‘setting up’
• HRMS used as the platform
• Current position• Service providers• Education providers
Mentor and Practice Teacher Preparation• Underpinning principles www.nipec.n-i.nhs.uk
• Regional mentor programme developed which has been approved by HLSP on behalf of NMC
• Practice Teacher programme being taken forward by ECG in collaboration with University of Ulster
• Mentors and practice teachers who successfully complete the programme will be entered on the local Register of mentors and practice teachers
Ongoing Implementation and Management
• The Project managed the implementation of the NMC Standards
• Service and education programme providers will be responsible for the on-going implementation and establishing quality assurance systems to monitor compliance
• Responsibilities paper• Handbook for ward managers• Final Report and Evaluation
Infrastructure to support learning in practice
• NIPEC Practice Placement Project (NIPEC, 2003) recommended the development of an infrastructure in Trusts to support learning in practice
• DHSSPS Report of the Working Group convened to Review an Infrastructure to Support Learning in Practice (DHSSPS, 2007) made further recommendations
Infrastructure to support learning in practice
DHSSPS has now agreed to provide funding for an infrastructure in the Trusts
Funding will be available from August 2008
One million pounds year 1 (August 07 to April 08) and two million pounds recurring thereafter
An implementation group is being established to take this forward

Learning Needs Analysis
Brendan McGrath
Lesley Barrowman
Work-force competence
• Trusts are in the business of delivering high quality care to their patients and clients
• To do this requires nurses and midwives who are knowledgeable and competent
• Learning and development requirements of individuals and groups of staff should be based on accurate identification of need.
Learning and Development Needs
Processes for identification of learning and development needs are at varying stages of sophistication across the HSC Trusts and may involve:
– a quick and dirty approach often as a response to the annual ECG commissioning activity
– a systematic process related to service development
– many variations between.
Learning Needs Analysis – What is it?
Learning and development needs can be better
identified using a structured process.
LNA is a systematic process of gathering
information to see if there are any gaps in the
existing skills, knowledge and attitude of
nurses and midwives to equip them to deliver
care to the standard required to meet service
objectives.
Learning Needs Analysis – What is it?
LNA involves gathering information about the
current capabilities of nurses and midwives in
specific clinical locations, determining the
current requirements and analysis of the
implications of new and changed roles.
Learning Needs Analysis
LNA needs to be considered within a short, medium and long-term strategic framework informed by
– the overall strategic developments in the HSCNI
– the service objectives of the organisation and how each part of the organisation contributes to this
– the competencies and skill sets required to meet Trust and departmental outputs
Learning Needs Analysis
The staff profile of each clinical facility will drive the process in relation to
– The roles and capabilities required to meet service objectives (person specifications/ job profiles)
– Capabilities of staff in post
– Gaps between capabilities and requirements
– Identification of learning needs and how they may be met (PDP)
Learning Needs Analysis
NIPEC has been considering how it may help Trusts in relation to this very difficult area of activity, underpinned by an approach to learning that values all types of learning.
A meeting of education leads is being proposed later in the year to take this forward.
Learning Needs Analysis
NIPEC has already undertaken some work with the NI Hospice and the WHSCT.
This has involved activities with key staff to inform them about LNA and facilitating a workshop at WHSCT with Brendan McGrath.
A summary of the LNA activities in the Western Trust is being presented by Brendan McGrath.

Simulated learning: overview of NMC requirements
L Barrowman
NMC Simulated Learning Practice Project
A Project was carried out by NMC to develop standards for the use of simulated learning.
A Pilot Study was carried out between October 2006 to January 2007 across 13 pilot sites
NMC Simulated Learning Practice Project
Providers were permitted to use up to 7 days (or equivalent) of practice time for simulated learning whilst adhering to predetermined principles
The project outcomes were evaluated using a common data set developed from NMC standards
NMC Simulated Learning Practice Project
The findings were overwhelmingly positive and supported the following:
– Helps students achieve learning outcomes– Provides students with learning
opportunities which are not possible in the clinical setting
– Help increase student confidence in approaching clinical situations
NMC Simulated Learning Practice Project
The full report published in December 2007 is available to download from the NMC web-site
www.nmc-uk.org
The NMC has now published a circular (36/2007) - Supporting direct care through simulated practice learning in pre-registration nursing education
NMC Circular 36/2007
The circular sets out the arrangements for
using simulated practice learning and permits
programme providers to use a maximum of
300 hours of the 2300 practice hours to
provide clinical training within a simulated
practice environment …..
NMC Circular 36/2007
The practice learning environment requires to be audited using a set of 5 principles set out in the circular
Providers will require an amendment to their programmes to introduce this type of learning
Local providers already use simulated learning within the theory element to enhance learning
