Quality Standards for Practice Learning (QSPL)

The Quality Standards for Practice Learning (QSPL) have been designed to reinforce existing professional Health and Care professions Council (HCPC) and Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) regulatory standards and support nursing, midwifery and allied health profession learners and those individuals and organisations who support, supervise and assess them understand their responsibilities and expectations in relation to practice based learning within Scotland.

The ‘Indicators for the Quality Standards for Practice Learning (QSPL)’ have been developed as a resource to help nursing, midwifery and allied health profession learners, those supporting, supervising and assessing learners, managers, educators and those organisations and education institutions supporting practice-based programmes evaluate whether the Quality Standards for Practice Learning are being achieved in practice.
