The Competency Framework for Adult Endocrine Nursing was developed by a working group of UK Endocrine Specialist Nurses and the Society for Endocrinology (SfE) to enhance the clinical care that adults with an endocrine disorder receive. The Competency Framework focuses on the knowledge, skills and interventions relevant to nurses looking after adult patients with endocrine conditions. It is envisaged that this document will be a useful tool for endocrine nurses across Europe and globally:
- Supporting job descriptions and pay reviews/negotiations by detailing targets in accordance with local and national guidelines and policies
- Assessing clinical competence at different levels
- Developing personal goals and objectives in performance appraisals for career progression
- Achieving a unified and translational role for endocrine nurses at a European and international level.
Although the Competency Framework encompasses most functions included in the role of an endocrine nurse, it is not an accredited document outside the UK. It is only intended as guidance to role performance and should be used in conjunction with local and national guidelines and appraisal documents.
