SCPHN Pan London Practice Assessment Documents

A Specialist Community Public Health Nurse (SCPHN) is a registered nurse or midwife who has completed additional training and education to specialise in public health nursing. Their specialised healthcare work encompasses various domains, including health visiting, school nursing and occupational health nursing.

The NMC published new standards of proficiency for SCPHNs in July 2022. During spring/summer 2023, HEI SCPHN programme leads from universities across London, joined by colleagues from other HEIs in England and Northern Ireland, engaged in a project to design a shared set of PAD/ePAD templates to meet the needs of the new standards.

The master templates were approved by the NMC on 4th December 2023 with no conditions.

Alongside the development of the Pan London PAD templates, HEI representatives worked with the Pan London ePAD supplier, MyKnowledgeMap, to create the matching online assessment tools. There are user guide documents on the SCPHN ePAD page.
