Occupational standards are often seen as cumbersome and inappropriate to a vocational curriculum such as nursing. However, the term fitness for practice is once more being used to focus the minds of educationalists and practitioners in healthcare delivery on the goal in preparing practitioners for the future. The project reported here was guided jointly by staff from a higher education institution and an NHS trust and involved practitioners in designing occupational standards with a view to using them in practice and incorporating them into the preregistration curriculum. The pivotal structure in this process was the focus group which, with tenacity and commitment, designed, developed and structured standards which were realistic and relevant to healthcare delivery.
职业标准常常被视为繁琐且不适用于诸如护理这样的职业课程。然而，“实践适用性”这一术语再次被用于促使医疗保健服务领域的教育工作者和从业者将注意力集中在为从业者的未来做准备这一目标上。此处报道的项目由一所高等教育机构和一个国民保健服务信托基金的工作人员共同指导，让从业者参与设计职业标准，目的是在实践中使用这些标准并将其纳入预注册课程。这一过程中的关键架构是焦点小组，该小组坚定执着且全身心投入，设计、制定并构建了既现实又与医疗保健服务相关的标准。
