The benchmark statements for qualifying awards for professions in Scotland have been developed and published jointly by QAA, the relevant professional body and the Scottish Government.
The statements bring together the academic and practice-based elements of programmes and the relevant professional requirements or National Occupation Standards.
The consultation for midwifery; nursing; and specialist community public health nursing closed on 3 March 2008. These revisions are a joint development between NHS Education for Scotland and QAA Scotland.
