In preparation for your supervision sessions or your KSF development review meetings assess yourself against the competency statements in the Competence Assessment Tool using the rating scale:
| LD – I need a lot of development SD – I need some development WD – I am not well developed NA – Is not applicable to my role |
You may find it helpful to discuss the competence statements with one of your peers before you begin your assessment |
It usually takes about 30 minutes to complete your self-assessment

- prepare for supervision meetings
- provide evidence for revalidation with the Nursing and Midwifery Council
- prepare for KSF development review meetings
- plan your career development
- get ready for job interviews

Invite Someone Else to Assess You
You can invite someone else to assess how well you do your job. Those who you might want to invite could be:
- your line manager(s)
- members of your team
- colleagues you work with inside or outside your organisation
- patients/relatives
- your peers
This is commonly known as a 360 degree assessment.
When you have decided who you would like to assess you, you will need to ask them if they are happy to take part in the process.
Your assessor should be someone whose opinion you value and who is aware of how you perform in your role.
