I was hoping to pick your mind. I am currently doing some work into the competency process within my NHS trust and it really seems like its one of those tasks that is in the ‘too difficult to do’ pile which is why its a bit of a mess. There is a lot of pockets of teams doing/making there own in house competencies as the generic ones we have don’t seem to cover the specifics of that role. My trust is community based and covers a very large area in the south of England with an incredibly diverse group of nurses, AHPs and doctors. My query is, given the massive variation and patchwork style of my trust, is there a recommendation on how we can look to centralise our competency matrixes and the frameworks used to build them, whilst still covering for the intensely large scope of practice we have for our practitioners?
