PDRPs are a unique feature of New Zealand nursing that have existed here in a variety of forms for almost 20 years. PDRP’s have been defined as …
“Competence based programme that assesses nursing practice against competencies, recognizes level of practice and supports ongoing professional development.”(National Nursing Organisations, 2004, p24).
The MidCentral District Health Board (MDHB) PDRP is accredited by NCNZ to meet the competency assessment component of the HPCA Act 2003. It is an organisational programme that recognises and rewards the valuable contributions of our nurses to patient care outcomes. It offers support for nurses to demonstrate their level of practice on Competent, Proficient, Expert or Accomplished levels, in addition to providing exemption from the Nursing Council of New Zealand's audit processes.
