Webinar launch of the updated National Competence Assessment Document

On Monday, 30 March, the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) hosted a webinar to launch
the revised National Competence Assessment Document (NCAD). The session outlined how the updated document aligns with the new Registered Nurse Programme Standards.

The NCAD is used by undergraduate students across all programmes and stages to record their achievement of practice-based competencies. It provides a structured approach to documenting initial, midpoint, and final interviews between students and their preceptors.

Following the introduction of the new Registered Nurse Programme Standards in 2025, the NCAD has been updated to reflect these changes. A recording of the session is available on the NMBI website.
