The Society for Endocrinology Competency Framework for Adult Endocrine Nursing was developed to enable Endocrine Nurses to evaluate their current practice, as well as to facilitate discussion leading to the provision of continuing career progression and service development.

Documents used for the purpose of providing evidence for these competencies can also be used to support revalidation with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and local appraisal, or as part of your portfolio for the Endocrine Nurse Masters-level module (see www.endocrinology.org/careers/training-and-resources/courses/masters-level-module-in-endocrine-nursing).

Providing evidence is always challenging and much uncertainty exists about what specific evidence is required or accepted. This addition to the competency framework will provide a selection of examples that can be used as evidence.
