Since 2019 the NMC have updated their Standard for Student Supervision and Assessment (SSSA). Any nurses who completed the training prior to 2019 must have completed an update to stay current with changes and requirements. Training is split into Supervisor and Assessor programmes and to take nursing or nursing associate students and/or apprentices your practice must have at least one SSSA Supervisor and one SSSA Assessor that the student or apprentice has regular access to.
