The School OfNursingAnd Midwifery.
PRE-REGISTRATION POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN NURSING
MAINTAINING YOUR PORTFOLIO
As part of your personal development you are required to keep a portfolio of learning; this is a compulsory component of your programme. This is an important part of your record of development and the maintenance of a portfolio will be required by the NMC as part of your re-registration in future years. You will receive a portfolio when you commence the programme. The portfolio is an opportunity for you to collect evidence demonstrating the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to be a registered nurse. The clinical skills passport will be included in the portfolio for you to record the development of your clinical skills as you progress through each of the Units. You are also required to demonstrate successful attainment of the professional behaviours expected of a professional nurse; these form part of your assessment of practice document and will be discussed both in your practice review meeting with your mentor and also at the end of Unit review meeting with your personal tutor. The detailed inventory is provided for you to cross reference against when you are reflecting on your progress and development. Additionally, you are required to record evidence of your experiences in Mental Health, Learning Disability, Child and Mother and Child Nursing to meet EU requirements. You will be provided with information regarding the collection of this evidence in Unit 1. Please see separate documentation for Portfolio development and recording EU directives
