New Competency Framework for Adult Endocrine Nursing booklet

As part of our commitment to supporting endocrine nurses, we have worked closely with the Society’s Nurse Committee to develop a framework document targeted at endocrine nurses, clinical mangers and recruiters.

This framework focuses on:

- helping with nurse career development

- increasing awareness of competency standards

- promoting high standards

- enabling clinical managers to manage and recruit the right levels of staff

Developed by a working group of Endocrine Specialist Nurses with the support of the Society for Endocrinology, the Competency Framework for Adult Endocrine Nursing has been published (by Bioscientifica) to enhance the clinical care that adults with an endocrine disorder receive. To achieve the appropriate care, nurses should be able to demonstrate that they are functioning at an optimal level. By formulating a competency framework from which an adult endocrine nurse specialist can work, it is envisaged that their development as professional practitioners can be enhanced.
