Standards for student supervision and assessment

Nurse led servicesRegistered nurses play a vital role in providing, leading and coordinating care that is compassionate, evidence-based, and person-centred.

They are accountable for their own actions and must be able to work autonomously, or as an equal partner with a range of other professionals, and in interdisciplinary teams (NMC 2018).

Skills analysis
