Nursing and Midwifery - Mandatory training checklist
KEMH nurses and midwives are required to provide a copy of the PDR documentation on an annual basis at compulsory in-service. Information about our PDR process and the current PDR template is available on the professional development review (PDR) page.
The PDR document is suitable for all levels of nursing and midwifery staff. The template contains 2 sections:
- Section 1: Mandatory training checklist, competency review
- Section 2: Optional CPD record and optional professional practice conversation questions.
