What is the appeal of RCN accreditation to nurses?
We include a model for structured reflection which delegates use to reflect on their experiences and to capture their learning. The Nursing and Midwifery Council’s post-registration education and practice requires that nurses undertake at least five days or 35 hours of learning activity relevant to their practice during the three years prior to their renewal of registration. Certificates are available for nurses who attend RCN accredited events providing evidence of this continuing professional development. This is another reason why nurses find RCN accredited initiatives more appealing when choosing a learning initiative.
