Successful Professional Portfolios for Nursing Students 2ed

Students are required by the NMC to keep an ongoing record of achievement, to demonstrate their competence at each stage of their programme. The portfolio is an essential part of the assessment of practice to demonstrate nursing competence. This book gives a step-by-step and practical explanation of how to compile a professional portfolio to succeed in these assessments. It can be used throughout nursing programmes and in initial nursing roles, where portfolios are an essential tool for interviews and employee appraisals. Along with a new design and layout to make it even easier to read and use, the book has been fully updated in light of the Francis report recommendations and includes new activities, examples and case studies reflecting the 6 C's agenda.
