Professional Portfolios - Evidence of competency for nurses and midwives
Portfolio-keeping, the ongoing documentation of skills and experience, is fast becoming standard practice across the health professions. Until now, however, no text has adequately addressed the reasons for, and attributes of, portfolios within the Australian and New Zealand context. Professional Portfolios: Evidence of competency for nurses and midwives provides a practical, accessible and authoritative guide for students, clinicians and managers at all levels and stages in their nursing or midwifery career.
The concepts of designing a portfolio and the use of quality evidence to demonstrate competency underpin this book. A range of portfolio approaches is discussed, including those unsed for educational or regulatory purposes, and for professional development and planning. In addition to the basic processes for individuals developing their own portfolios, the assessment and evaluation of portfolios is also discussed.
Features include:
- key questions
- practice exemplars
- tables and activities
- a comprehensive glossary at the back of the test.
