Supervision and assessment: the new Nursing and Midwifery Council standards.

In the UK, mentors of pre-registration nurses must achieve the stage 2 outcomes of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) ( 2008 ) standards to support learning and assessment in practice. Approval for new standards for student supervision and assessment was granted at the NMC meeting in March 2018 ( NMC 2018a ). The introduction of the new standards will see the dissolution of mentorship and the emergence of new roles to support students in academic and practice environments.
