You will monitor and evaluate educational programs through clinical competency assessments within scope of role to monitor nursing education gaps and ensure that clinical learning priorities are appropriately balanced with mandatory education requirements.

You'll also participate in the development and review of procedures and guidelines to improve the provision education advice and expertise.
