Abstract

The author determined, by means of a small questionnaire survey carried out at a district general hospital, what understanding nurses have of post-registration education and practice (PREP) and whether they were prepared to meet the requirements set out by the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting (UKCC). His study also aimed to establish how Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements of staff at the hospital could be met.
