Professional Officers, Lorraine Clarke-Bishop and Mary Devane from our Education, Policy and Standards Department recently attended the Patient and Carer Education Partnership (PCEP) Forum at Queen's University Belfast.

The PCEP forum was first established in 2013 and works in partnership with the School of Nursing and Midwifery to promote effective and meaningful co-production activities between patients, carers and staff members.

They work with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure that the next generation of nurses and midwives are equipped with the knowledge and skills required to deliver in a modern healthcare environment.

Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) is about ensuring that health care is person-centred, and that feedback from patients and the public is used to develop, monitor, and improve the education and professions of nursing and midwifery. NMBI's standards and requirements for registration programmes promote PPI in the development of the undergraduate curriculum. NMBI continuously aims to learn from best practice and continue to develop networks locally, nationally and internationally.
