NMBI has developed a new audit tool to support short clinical placements for pre-registration nursing and midwifery students during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Following a review of the current process for auditing selected short clinical placements a new method was identified to support learning opportunities for students.

The Abridged CLE Audit Tool for Short Placements (2-3 weeks) during Covid-19 Pandemic was developed in partnership with higher education institutions (HEIs) and associated healthcare providers (AHCPs), the Office of the Nursing and Midwifery Services Director (ONMSD) HSE, and the Department of Health.

The audit tool is now available on the NMBI website.
