Clinical assessors’ workshop - NESP programme
The role of clinical assessor for Nurses undertaking postgraduate qualification within your employing
organisation is very important. The aim of ongoing learning and professional development for
registered nurses is the integration of knowledge and skills into practice, which are then measured
against the competencies for registered nurse scope of practice (Nursing Council of New Zealand,
2007) and the standards of mental health nursing practice (Te Ao Maramatanga, 2012). It is the
responsibility of the education provider to have a clear assessment process and tool for assessment of
the nurse against the competencies and standards. It is our intention that the assessor in the process
is as much a tool as the proforma that is utilised and, as such, is open to development to enhance
validity and reliability of the process. The date, time and venue will be advised.
Please direct enquiries to Pauline Humm-Johnson at Pauline.humm-johnson@wdhb.org.nz .

an annual practising certificate. To ensure midwives engaged in the programme will have met the
Midwifery Council competence requirements 2 to obtain an annual practising certificate.
