Knowledge and Skills Framework

• The NHS use a review process called the Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF) for development review and appraisal

• The KSF system was first introduced in NHS Lothian around 2006 after Agenda for Change.

• Each year NHS Lothian employees must evidence their development against the KSF domains

3

Knowledge and Skills Framework

• 6 core dimensions in KSF– Communication– Personal and People Development– Health, safety and security– Service Improvement– Quality– Equality and diversity

of learning teaching and assessment within the clinical learning environment

Mapping of KSF descriptor to MPP (1)

KSF Dimension 1 Communication, Level 3

• Develop and maintain communication with people about difficult matters and/or in difficult situations

• Links to LO1, LO2, LO3,

20

Evidence submitted (1)

• “Being a mentor I have to give constructive feedback to students. On one occasion I had to inform a first year student that their competence was not at the level I would expect. This involved getting testimony from others in the nursing team and speaking to the student at length about developing goals for assessing their progression”

21

KSF descriptor mapped to MPP (2)

KSF Dimension 2, level 2

• Develop own skills and knowledge and provide information to other to help their development

• Links to LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, LO5

22

Evidence Submitted (2)

• “In the development of my mentorship portfolio, I read various articles on supporting learners. I learned all about the qualities of a good mentor and how I can utilise the theory of mentorship in my clinical practice. I document the student’s progression in their documentation to allow us to set goals”

23

KSF descriptor mapped to MPP (3)

KSF Dimension 4 Service Improvement, level 3

• Appraise, interpret ad apply suggestions, recommendations and directives to improves services

• Links to LO2, LO4,LO5

24

Evidence submitted (3)

• “In the mentorship programme I identified areas for development of the learning environment when I carried out a SWOT analysis. I have updated the student portal information and the induction pack for students, so that when students come to this area they have lots of information including relevant policies and guidelines to review”

25

Conclusion

• Mentorship and the Mentorship Preparation programme can be submitted as evidence of application in the personal development process using the KSF framework

• Mapping the learning outcomes from mentorship preparation to KSF (or vice versa) allows you to collate evidence of personal development from different sources

26

Further Application

• Think about a similar process for NMC revalidation and for mentorship triennial review

• Apply one piece of evidence to a variety of tools to appraise development
