On Monday, 30 March we held a webinar to launch the revised National Competence Assessment Document.  

The session highlighted how the documents align with the new Registered Nurse Programmes Standards.  

The National Competency Assessment Document (NCAD) is used by undergraduate students, across all programmes and years, to record their achievement of competency in practice. They are a formalised method to capture initial, middle and final interviews between a student and their preceptor. With the introduction of the new Registered Nurse Programmes Standards in 2025, we have updated the NCAD to align with the new standards. 

For those who could not attend, the session is available on our website
