| Description: | The Nurses Act, 1985, empowered An Bord Altranais "to provide for the registration, control and
education of nurses". It stated "the Board may engage in research into the education and training of nurses,
including the formulation of experimental curricula the evaluation of existing programmes and
examination and assessment procedures" (Part IV, Section 36(2)
The establishment of the present Review of Education and Training can he traced back to February
1989 when An Bord Altranais decided that a review of pre and post registration nurse education
should be undertaken.
A committee to undertake the review was established in September 1990. This committee consists of
twelve members of An Bord Altranais; two nominations each from the Department of Health, Chief
Executive Officer Group in Health Boards and the Voluntary Hospitals; one representative each from
the Higher Education Authority and National Council for Educational Awards and one representative
appointed to represent hospitals with Boards established under the Health (Corporate Bodies) Act,
1961.
The Review Committee believes that it is of fundamental importance that the review process incorporates
a working formula of consultation and communication with the profession at large. The intention
is to provide opportunities for comment and debate to individual nurses, employers and groups
representing nurses and nursing.
This paper re presents the first formal stage in the consultative process and it along with further
discussion papers and seminars, will provide a substantial basis for comment and an invitation to the
various groups representing nursing and nurses to submit views. |
