Preparation for revalidation should be ongoing. Here are some steps nurses can take to ensure they are ready:
1. Maintain a Portfolio: Keep a record of practice hours, CPD activities, feedback, and reflections. 2. Engage in CPD Activities: Attend workshops, seminars, and online courses to meet the CPD requirement. 3. Gather Feedback: Actively seek feedback from patients and colleagues. 4. Reflect Regularly: Write reflections on experiences and how they align with the NMC Code. 5. Schedule Reflective Discussions: Plan discussions with colleagues well in advance of the revalidation date.
