In 2011 NIPEC in collaboration with a range of key stakeholders agreed high level principles in relation to a learning agreement template to be used Nurses and Midwives in the HSC Trust. The purpose of a learning agreement is to ensure that both the learner and the line manager: |
- agree the learning activity which best meets the needs of the nurse or midwife and the service
- clearly articulate the committment required by the nurse or midwife and the manager
- evaluate the programme against the agreed learning outcomes
- evaluate benefits to the care delivered to patients
Following a pilot of the template during 2012-2013, NIPEC collated feedback from the five HSC Trusts; amendments were made to the learning agreement template to be used by nurses and midwives in the HSC trust.
