  16. Discuss draft leaflet on quality assurance of education Lucia Owen Standards Compliance Officer

  17. Working together: feedback so far • We sent out the QA framework for information • We sent out the outline content page for the patient information booklet “Your role as a member of the public” • We have received initial comments from some of you • Today is about getting more ideas about what you want this booklet to say

  18. Three main discussion topics • Patients and the public’s role in nursing and midwifery education • Patients and the public’s role in supervision of midwives • Patients and the public’s role in quality assurance

  19. Patients and the public’s role in nursing and midwifery education (1) • You are a key contributor to the development and progress of the student’s educational progress. • It is a requirement of NMC standards for pre- registration nursing and midwifery education that members of the public contribute to programme design and delivery.

  20. Patients and the public’s role in nursing and midwifery education (2) How you can get involved: • In the university setting “We expect universities to involve service users or carers in the development of the programme and this includes recruitment and selection of students.” How you can get involved: • In a ward, clinic or GP surgery “At times a student nurse or midwife may ask to observe or treat you in the presence of a mentor. You have the choice to accept and/or refuse student care, including observations, throughout your care.”

  21. Patients and the public’s role in Supervision of Midwives: suggested content “You have the right to have supportive care and make personal choices that reflect your preferred maternity care.” “Who is your LSA Midwifery Officer?” “How to contact your Supervisor of Midwives?” “There are many ways you can get involved and information is available in each maternity unit.”

  22. Patients and the public’s role in QA The Quality assurance framework sets out how lay reviewers can get involved. “Lay reviewer’s involvement is crucial when reviewing nursing and midwifery programmes, as the public’s perceptions will differ to reviewers who are nurses and midwives. It is important that we capture everyone’s views.”

  23. Next steps Thank you for your contributions!! Please note that this new way of working will be ongoing and we hope to continue to collaborate together in the development of the final document. Additionally, further collaborations are envisioned for future projects, including the revised Code.
