Completed Revalidation Forms and Templates

Contents
The forms and templates in this pack are examples of how a nurse or midwife
may record how they meet the requirements of revalidation. These include real
life examples taken from nurses or midwives who have already revalidated.
This is not a sample portfolio of one individual nurse or midwife. The pack
includes a variety of forms and templates, designed to reflect multiple practice
settings and different ways of approaching the process.

How did you change or improve your practice as a result?
All four themes of the NMC Code are linked to this CPD activity:
Prioritise people - the majority of people referred to the CRT are older with chronic
limitations including social needs. For some patients to remain at home safely, functional
assessments are necessary to perform the fundamentals of care safely. The extended
knowledge and skills in identifying appropriate aids for transferring patients enables them to
remain independent with formal support at home.
Practise effectively – the ongoing manual handling updates enables staff members to
maintain the knowledge and skills needed for safe and effective practice.
Preserve safety – As a transfer specialist I am to be a resource for the team, supporting
colleagues to take account of their own personal safety as well as patient safety by
attending manual handling training sessions.
Promote professionalism and trust - I intend to be a model of integrity and leadership by
being committed to the standards of safer handling practice.

What was the nature of the CPD activity and/or practice-related feedback
and/or event or experience in your practice?
I received written feedback on a record keeping and documentation and train the
trainer training day that I delivered with a colleague. The audience included health
visitors, student health visitors and managers. The organisation was in the process
of moving to a new record keeping system and had concerns about the quality of
their practitioner’s records. There had been a number of serious case reviews
where poor record keeping was highlighted as a contributing factor. My colleague
and I delivered the record keeping session and I delivered the train the trainer
session. Feedback was received from participants who completed an evaluation
form. I also received a thank you email from the manager who commissioned the
session.
What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback and/or event or
experience in your practice?
The feedback from participants was positive and demonstrated that expectations of
the session had been met. The content, materials and delivery of the session were
rated excellent or very good, indicating it had been well received and was beneficial.
There were a number of additional comments. It was suggested there could have
been more focus on the how participants themselves could deliver the training,
more on the basics of record keeping in relation to current NMC guidelines and,
rather than maintaining the same members of a group within the different interactive
sessions, it would have been beneficial if members were moved around.
I was pleased with the feedback, in particular the additional comments from
participants that would enable me to improve future sessions.

How did you change or improve your practice as a result?
I reviewed the training package based on the feedback provided and the
programme for future sessions was amended, addressing the suggestions made.
