Requisite Education Framework directory

A Requisite Education Framework (REF) lists the mandatory and role-requisite education for nurses and midwives in a unit, plus professional development options. Each unit’s education steering group reviews its framework every one or two years.

Frameworks cover these roles: assistant in nursing or midwifery, student nurse or midwife, enrolled nurse, registered nurse, midwife, clinical nurse or midwife, and clinical coach. How frameworks are written and governed is in Manual chapter 7: Requisite Education Frameworks.
