title: Ensuring safe and effective practice: fitness for practice at the point of registration.
abstract: The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has been reviewing its standards for the preparation of teachers and considering issues related to fitness for practice at the point of registration. This has resulted in new standards to support learning and assessment in practice (NMC 2006a). The standards have attempted to address learning in an interprofessional practice environment, taking account of the different professionals involved in supporting and assessing learning, while maintaining the integrity of particular professions.
