Research paper
A research project has been exploring ‘best practice’ in preparation of Nursing and Midwifery students for the ‘Reality of Revalidation in Practice’. This has investigated the views of qualified professionals undertaking a regulatory process to maintain their registration and students’ experiences of activities in their undergraduate programmes which may contribute to professional growth. A model has been developed depicting the interface of ‘Purpose’ ‘Process’ and ‘Preparation’ and factors which contribute positively to this as well as highlighting potential hazards. This forms part of a pedagogic framework which has professional values at its core.
