Practice Improvement PortfolioNSG3NRCStep 1 – IntroductionBackgroundAll healthcare practitioners have an obligation to improve the quality of client care and to manage threats to client safety. As nurses, we use our knowledge, experience and evidence to improve the health experiences of people in our care The best-available evidence is necessary as a foundation for all healthcare actions. Portfolios provide a way to present that knowledge and evidence in a format that communicates to others our learning and development, as well as our current level of achievement, capability and competence.Creating a professional portfolio allows an individual to examine their current practice against appropriate expectations or standards and will highlight potential areas for improvement, to inform a learning or career plan for continuing professional development.In Australia nurses are required to demonstrate their continuing professional development and engagement as a condition of their registration to practice. Portfolios have a long and reliable history as a useful way to demonstrate continuing professional learning and engagement and, therefore, the progressive achievement of competency and capacity building (Andre, Heartfield, Cusack, 2017).Why do I need to complete a professional portfolio?Completing this portfolio will enable you to reflect on the professional knowledge and clinical skills that you have acquired in your course and provide evidence of your capability for transition to practice from an undergraduate student to a Registered Nurse /Midwife (RN/RM). This portfolio can form the basis for your future professional portfolio. It can be added to whilst you complete your graduate year, and may be further developed to include your future continuing professional development (CPD) activities, as you continue to journey in your future career.An overview of this activityHow do I complete this Task?It is highly recommended that you read through this section before starting on your portfolio.Step 1 IntroductionRead the background and rationale section on this pageAccess Module 1 on the LMS subject site -watch the lecture: ‘Developing a Professional Portfolio’ located within the Module 1 linkcomplete the pre-workshop preparation for Developing your professional portfolio – located within the Module 1 link on LMSAttend the Workshop based (CR simulation) session Developing your professional portfolio – please note, your portfolio will be commenced in this workshop.Step 2 Nursing Self Evaluation sectionThe aim of this section is to help you reflect on your 1 most recent clinical nursing placements.
