Royal Marsden Manual & Nursing Revalidation Webinar

Nursing Revalidation Webinar – July 21st 2016

Revalidation: Nursing Demands Evidence Webinar 21st July 2016, 3-4pm Need support with your nursing revalidation within the NHS? Click here to sign up for the webinar today! You are invited to attend a short webinar,which looks at the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) themes and demonstrates how The Royal Marsden Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures (9th edition) (which the majority of NHS nursing staff have access to) supports each theme of the code. The webinar covers individual case studies and scenarios supporting each aspect of the code. Revalidation is a process all nurses and midwives in the UK need to follow in order to maintain their registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Having taken effect from April 2016, the program helps nurses and midwives demonstrate that they practise safely and effectively. Presenters include the editors of The Royal Marsden Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures, sharing their many years of practical experience in nursing, and they are supported by case studies given by librarians working with NHS practitioners. This presentation provides invaluable information and suggestions for all nurses engaged with revalidation. If you are a nurse embarking on the program within the NHS, or a librarian who supports nurses with access to evidence based resources, please make sure to attend, as it will prove informative.
