Abstract
The Continuing Competence Framework (CCF) was introduced in 2004 following the enactment of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance (HPCA) Act 2003. This evaluation research was commissioned by the Council to:1. explore the validity of the stipulated hours of professional development and days/ hours of practice over a three-year period, as indicators of competence;2. provide information on the efficacy of undertaking a random audit of five percent of the nursing workforce to meet recertification requirements;3. document and track the different forms of written evidence that are currently acceptable to the Council to demonstrate competence;4. identify issues related to peer assessment of competence;5. develop a framework to enable the Council to complete a further evaluation in five years' time.
