The MyKnowledgeMap team are looking forward to their first event of the year, the RCN Education Forum National Conference & Exhibition 2023!  

The RCN Education Forum brings together the nursing education workforce to look at advancing the field through evidence-based strategies. The programme for the event is available here, with speakers including Deborah Sturdy CBE, Professor Mark Radford CBE, Paula McGowan OBE, and Professor Winifred Eboh on the lineup.

The event is being held at the Birmingham Conference and Events Centre on the 25 and 26 April, where the MyKnowledgeMap team will be at stand number two. The team will be exhibiting MyProgress, the industry leading and trusted e-portfolio and workplace-based assessment tool that supports AEIs in delivering their nursing programmes in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Standards.   

MyProgress is an ideal tool to support nursng education; it has different dashboards according to the user; the appearance and functionality changes according to whether it’s being used by a learner, practice staff, or faculty staff. 

Some key features of MyProgress include: 

• Supports all the UK regions’ versions of the PAD 
• Works offline 
• User-friendly interface 
• Simple to capture practice hours 
• Customisable analytics for university staff 
• Facilitates early intervention 

Dr Siân Shaw, Director of Learning, Teaching and Assessment at Anglia Ruskin University, is hosting a Sponsored Session that explores the findings of her thesis ‘A case study exploration of the adoption of an electronic ongoing achievement record for nursing students' practice assessment’. The study looks at how Anglia Ruskin University implemented MyKnowledgeMap’s MyProgress e-portfolio, how it was adopted across the community of nursing practice and determines what benefit digital practice assessment provides. Siân Shaw’s session will be held on Wednesday 26th April at 11.35am.
