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
• Will need to provide evidence of professional development
• 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 standards for entry on to
the NMC register

students:
