Nursing Student Fitness to Practise Defence Barristers
Healthcare regulators set the learning outcomes and standards that must be covered by qualifications leading to registration. They also approve and monitor these training programmes. The standards expected of registered healthcare professionals are set by healthcare regulators and the standards expected of students are based on these principles.
Nursing Student Fitness to Practise
According to the NMC, a nursing or midwifery student is fit to practise when they “have the skills, knowledge, character and health to work in their profession safely and effectively.”
Examples of circumstances that might call into question your fitness to practise as a nursing or midwifery student could include:
- character (such as convictions, plagiarism, falsifying records);
- unmanaged or untreated health problems; and/or
- misconduct (abuse of patients or colleagues); or
lack of competence.
