Pre-registration Nursing and Midwifery students’ placement experiences vary across Australia with both positive and less than optimal experience outcomes. In line with recent reviews of education it is essential that a nationally consistent approach to understanding and measuring the quality of clinical placements is commenced. Funded by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council anmac.org.au and the Council of Deans of Nursing and Midwifery (CDNM) (Australia and New Zealand) the new National Placement Evaluation Centre (NPEC) will be housed at Health Education Services Australia hesa.com.au
We anticipate that a national trial of the Centre will commence in April 2022. In the meantime rating tool and educational resources are available for download.
Centre Aim
To measure and enhance the quality of nursing and midwifery clinical placements through rigorous evaluation and quality improvement processes.
Project team
The project team includes Deans (or their representatives), early career researchers, undergraduate students and industry partners. Currently, the majority of Australian schools of nursing and their partners are represented.
