Competency Framework for Adult Endocrine Nursing Survey

The Society for Endocrinology published the second version of the Competency Framework for Adult Endocrine Nursing in 2015. The Society is now working with members to create an updated third version which it is aiming to publish in late 2021.

To increase its effectiveness for our members the Society is looking at creating a more interactive online version. Your views on how we develop this new version are very important, to ensure the Competency Framework is as useful to you as possible. Below is a short survey to gain your views. We are also planning to run a number of virtual focus groups with a range of nurses across the UK and with different levels of experience in endocrine nursing. If you would like to be involved in one of these focus groups please leave your name and email address at the bottom.
