Education model
|
Nursing and midwifery education facilitates the integration and/or culmination of learning that occurs within and/or across professional practice. The three spheres of learning: clinical, organisational and professional equip the nurse/midwife to provide effective and safe patient outcomes on the lifelong learning continuum.

Clinical learning refers to the knowledge and skills to demonstrate acceptable standards of practice in the delivery of patient-centred care. The service profile and service capability will identify the areas of clinical practice required.
