Using the Framework
Nursing and Midwifery
• The first step in using the Framework is to identify
your current level of practice. The overview pages
for each level will help you to identify the level you
are currently working within
• Once you have identified the appropriate level of
practice you can explore the knowledge, skills and
behaviours expected from practitioners working at
that level. This will help you to identify your learning
and development needs. You may find it helpful to
discuss this with your manager.

expected to meet the criteria described in lower
levels
