How the nursing profession in England defines the basic competency of the registered general nurse is crucial for the safety of the patient and the protection of the nurse. It is also essential for determining advanced practice, extended practice and specialist practice in nursing. An historical overview of documentation from the United Kingdom Central Council for Midwifery and Health Visiting, the English National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting and the Royal College of Nursing shows a profound change in educational policy during the 1980s regarding the interpretation of nursing competency. The effects of this policy change on the current methods developed to define, teach and test nursing competency are examined. Preliminary conclusions show shortcomings and uncertainty in the present preparation and evaluation of nursing competency.
英国护理行业如何界定注册普通护士的基本能力，这对患者安全和护士保护至关重要。这对于确定护理领域的高级实践、扩展实践和专科实践也必不可少。对英国中央助产士与健康访视委员会、英格兰护理、助产与健康访视国家委员会以及皇家护理学院的文件进行的历史回顾表明，20世纪80年代在护理能力的诠释方面，教育政策发生了深刻变化。本文考察了这一政策变化对当前用于界定、教授和测试护理能力的方法所产生的影响。初步结论显示，目前在护理能力的培养和评估方面存在缺陷和不确定性。
