Commitment to quality care

requirements to remain on
the ‘live’ mentor register as
stated by the NMC

Triennial Review
•
Three yearly cycle of reflection of mentor practice against NMC
standards
• The process is a self assessment of your skills as a mentor

As a quality process a discussion will be held with your line
manager or appropriate other

•
A checklist is available to support this process.
•
The Mentor Register is then updated

Due Regard
For nursing this means the mentor:
• has the specialist skills required to support
the placement learning outcomes
• is from the same part of the register and field
of practice as the student in the final
placement module
Sign Off mentors for nursing
students
Sign Off Mentors make the final decision
– as to whether a student has achieved the
required practice standards for entry on to
the NMC register
– must ensure they spend one hour protected
time per week with their student, focussing
on sign off assessment

together to assure the quality of the student
practice learning experience through the
process of:
• Practice Education Audits
• Practice Education Committees
• Student/Mentor Evaluations
• Moderation of Practice Assessment
• External reviews from CQC, Monitor, PQAF,
Professional Body, NHSLA

parity and quality of practice
assessment. This is achieved through:
– External examiner review of practice
documentation
– HEI review of practice documentation
