5 Preface This guidance will support the implementation and embedding of the Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF) within NHS Boards. It clearly demonstrates the key part KSF can play within the nursing and midwifery mentoring role. At the same time it provides reassurance for the individual mentor that their mentoring activities will supply appropriate and relevant evidence for the KSF development review process. Anne Campbell KSF Implementation Lead Scottish Government Health Department The majority of nurses and midwives are committed to supporting students and undertaking mentorship preparation recognised by the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Becoming a mentor requires a commitment to keeping up to date, undertaking annual updates and triennial review of their mentorship role. It is important to recognise that this ongoing mentor development supports the NHS KSF and should not be seen as an additional requirement. This guidance makes explicit the links between mentorship preparation and role activity with the expected KSF dimensions. It clearly identifies the way in which each mentor outcome can be used as evidence to support achievement of the core dimensions of the KSF. It gives me great pleasure therefore to commend this guidance to every nurse, midwife and their manager as we strive to minimise any duplication in effort in addressing the requirements for continuous development within the professional roles. Colette Ferguson Associate Director of Nursing and Midwifery NHS Education for Scotland This guidance makes explicit the links between mentorship preparation and role activity with the expected KSF dimensions

6 NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and the Scottish Government are committed to the development of a robust practice education infrastructure and it is recognised that the implementation of the NHS KSF can support this Introduction The guidance and indicative links outlined in this document relate to the implementation of the NHS Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF) (Department of Health 2004) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Standards to support learning and assessment in practice (2008). This guidance and indicative links focus upon the NMC mentor domains and their interrelationship to the KSF core dimensions. Although this document is intended for use by NHS nursing and midwifery mentors employed on Agenda for Change (NHS Staff Council 2007) terms and conditions and who are either undertaking mentor preparation programmes or on their NHS Board mentor register, it is anticipated that it will be of value for nursing or midwifery mentors across the independent healthcare sector. 1.1 Background and context NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and the Scottish Government are committed to the development of a robust practice education infrastructure, and it is recognised that the implementation of the NHS KSF can support this at an individual, directorate and organisational level through: Enabling individuals to be clear about the knowledge and skills they need to apply in their posts Enabling individuals access to appropriate learning and development Enabling organisations to audit the knowledge and skills that exist using a common framework and approach applicable to all staff Identification of skills and knowledge gaps within teams and the organisation and plan how to address them (DoH 2004:14,15) The National Approach to Mentor Preparation (NES 2007) outlined a core curriculum framework, guidance on portfolio development, and included a suggested mapping of the KSF core dimensions against the NMC mentor domains and outcomes. The revision outlined within this document has incorporated knowledge gained through the implementation of KSF and adoption of the core curriculum framework for mentor preparation educational programmes across NHS Scotland.

7 2. Partnership approach The National Approach to Mentor Preparation (NES 2007) was developed through stakeholder engagement. To build upon this, and to maintain the partnership approach to KSF implementation, the principles and best practice of partnership working (NHS Staff Council 2007:243) were adopted throughout. A working group (Appendix 1) was established with membership from: Scottish Government KSF Lead Royal College of Nursing NHS Education for Scotland Nursing and midwifery Practice Education Facilitators Mentors 3. Aims The aims of the working group was to: Establish indicative links between KSF core dimensions and the NMC mentor domains and outcomes Identify minimum KSF levels for the nursing and midwifery mentor role Provide examples of how mentors could evidence achievement against the identified KSF core dimension levels 4. The mentor and other practice education support roles A scoping exercise across nursing and midwifery (NES 2009a) confirmed that there is a multiplicity of practice education support roles in NHS Scotland. The mentor role as defined by the NMC (2008:19), is one such practice education support role, and is therefore one way that nurses and midwives can demonstrate achievement of their respective KSF core dimensions. This would be further supplemented with examples provided from within the context of the nurse or midwifery mentors clinical role. It is important to highlight, however, that Core Dimension 2 Personal and people development is a requirement of ALL NHS posts covered by Agenda for Change. Nurses and midwives can demonstrate achievement of this dimension through a variety of ways, mentoring being one of them. Other role examples which would support achievement of core dimension 2 include a clinical supervisor, clinical coach as part of the Early Clinical Careers Fellows initiative and a Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) assessor.

8 5. KSF core dimensions and NMC mentor outcomes The NMC Standards to support learning and assessment in practice (2008) have clearly defined the nursing and midwifery mentor role in terms of: educational preparation requirements role clarity continuing professional development expectations This role consistency and clarity has enabled indicative links with KSF to be developed to support the consolidation of KSF within NHS Boards and will be useful for: managers who will undertake triennial reviews with their staff who are mentors (from September 2010 onwards) individual mentors about how they evidence their mentoring activities in KSF terms. The NMC development framework to support learning and assessment in practice and therefore the NMC mentor domains, takes account of the NHS KSF (NMC 2008:10). The interrelationship and indicative links between the NMC mentor domains and the KSF are outlined in Appendix The mentor role and KSF levels The majority of nurse and midwifery mentors will be located within Agenda for Change pay bands 5 and 6, and will already have KSF outlines in place for their respective posts. This guidance and indicative links have been developed to clarify the relationship between the NMC mentor domains and outcomes and the KSF core dimensions to enable individual mentors to integrate their evidence of mentor preparation, mentor continuing professional development through annual updating activities in readiness for their triennial review. As stated previously, national KSF guidance (DoH 2004) highlights how KSF post outlines will assist staff to identify the knowledge and skills requirements of their current and future career steps. It is recognised that these requirements are not, however, fixed and may need to be reviewed by local agreement as part of service development or changes in professional standards as agreed by the relevant professional body (NHS Staff Council 2007:section 6.2.4). Identification of minimum KSF levels as part of this process is intended to provide consistency of role and evidence expectations for KSF outline and development review purposes and highlight the contribution mentors make across NHS Scotland. Individual mentors may exceed these minimum levels and evidence this through KSF development reviews with their managers. The mentor minimum KSF levels and associated examples are included in Appendix 3.
