With this in mind, I am extremely pleased to introduce the new revised for Nurse Registration Programmes Standards and Requirements Version 4 (2016).

9 NMBI is mandated by the Nurses and Midwives Act of 2011 to set Standards and Requirement for the initial professional education of registered nurses and midwives. These Standards and Requirements provide guidance for Higher Education Institutions and for Health Service Providers for the education of Registered Nurses of all four divisions of the Nurses' Register. The development, drafting and finalisation of the Standards and Requirements involved significant consultation and discussion with registrants, other key stakeholders and most importantly the public representative groups over an extended period of time. As part of the process, patient representatives groups, health service unions, directors of nursing (IADNAM), Deans and Heads of Nursing, academic curriculum leads, Clinical Placements Coordinators (CPC's), allocations officers, Department of Health, HSE Nursing and Midwifery Practice Development and Office of the Health Services Director have contributed to these Standards and Requirements.

10 These Standards and Requirements have been developed over a two year period following closely the recommendations of the Report of the Review of Undergraduate Nursing and Midwifery Programmes1 and to ensure that these meet revised nursing competences in EU. Directive 2013/55/EU2. In particular, the Board has addressed the need to ensure that a person- centred philosophy of nursing is enshrined in each of the Programmes leading to Registration as a Nurse for each division of the professional register. New core indicative content and theoretical and clinical requirements requires Programmes developers to ensure that safety of the person encountering health services, discrete knowledge and experience in caring for older persons and in primary health care settings are integral to the curriculum.
