Description
This U.K. portfolio is a professional tool to help nurses record their career and post-registration education and practice. It provides a clear and concise framework within which a comprehensive resource can be built up that will be useful in a variety of ways including: applying for a new post; compiling a CV; seeking accreditation for prior learning and experience; participating in performance review; building a personal development profile; and meeting the statutory requirements for renewing NMC registration.

Audience
All registered nurses who haven't yet got a portfolio. In practice this may be all new graduates coming onto the NMC register, including health visitors and midwives (c. 10,000 p.a.)
