Abstract

Effective assessment of competency of student nurses in clinical practice is vital. Use of simulation rather than real life settings can be used to assess competency. Development of information technology and its use in teaching clinical skills offers opportunities for assessment. Clinical governance increases the need to scrutinize the assessment of practice. Ongoing assessment of clinical competency for qualified nurses is also important.
