Hello,
A while ago Lesley Allen circulated her findings about supporting nurse revalidation. There is interest in my Trust for Library revalidation workshops, along the lines of that mentioned below, perhaps with the first part looking briefly at searching for articles.
It would be useful to know if anyone has already delivered any similar sessions, what did you include, how did you plan it and how did they go? (I think that's enough questions!)
Thanks

Dear all
Apologies for the lateness of reporting back to the list on my findings. There seem to be quite a few of us interested in the same thing, but rather fewer who have yet taken the plunge!
Thanks to those who sent me information about what they are doing. Their comments are list below. I hope they are useful to others.

We're starting to look at that here as well but haven't got very far so far - really so far just talking about producing certificates for our one-to-one and group training sessions and also starting to talk about making sure that the learning outcomes from our training are a bit more up front so that they can be used as evidence of CPD.

Yes, we have involved ourselves. So far that has meant:
*circulating details of this Nursing Times article to senior staff http://www.nursingtimes.net/Journals/2015/05/30/y/t/u/030615_Using-reflection-on-reading-for-revalidation.pdf
*presenting at revalidation awareness sessions (see attached) which lead to:
*planning to produce (?monthly) lists of articles suitable for reflective reading for revalidation - these will be short lists of short articles, probably focusing on Trust priorities where possible
*planning to facilitate Revalidation Reading clubs - which we think will be like a medical journal club but less critical appraisal, more about providing a time and space to talk and reflect so that it can count as both individual and participatory learning. Probably using the model outlined in the NT article. We may offer to run these for teams in the workplace / at team training and meetings as well as open sessions at the library for any nurses to attend.
*understanding that Nursing Directors will link us up with groups of nurses as they come up for revalidation, so we can proactively offer support. I'm expecting to hear about the first cohort soon.

Our library has not been asked to provide training about revalidation. We have, however, been asked to provide information on our website such as links to NMC revalidation guidance, the NMC code and revalidation FAQs web pages. This URL will take you to the relevant web page:
http://ectsl.weebly.com/nursing.html
I hope this information is some help.
