Professional Development Recognition Programme Sample Clauses

Professional Development Recognition Programme. 27.3.1 What is a PDRP? A PDRP is a competence based programme that assesses practice against competencies, recognises level of practice and supports ongoing professional development. It is based on a professional development model for nurses to gain recognition of nursing competence, promoting expertise and valuing contribution to nursing. The Health Practitioners Competence Assurance (HPCA) Act (2003) requires the Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ) to ensure the ongoing competence of nurses. Specific continuing competence requirements for all nurses were introduced as part of the practising certificate renewal process in September 2004. NCNZ have identified PDRPs as one way of demonstrating competence and approves PDRPs as recertification programmes under section 41 of the Act for the purpose of ensuring nurses are competent to practise. Southern Cross Hospital Rotorua has adopted the PRDP used by Southern Cross Healthcare. Southern Cross Healthcare’ PDRP ensures that the programme meets all of NCNZ standards, aligned closely with the new competencies and met agreed principles.
