Background to the cCNS pathway: The Policy on the Development of Graduate to Advanced Nursing and Midwifery Practice (DOH, 2019) outlines a pathway to support a change for specialist practice to develop and meet service need, including the revised eligibility criteria for CNS as follows: A minimum of 1 years’ experience in practice prior to completing the required post graduate qualification in the specialist area at level 9 (equivalent to 60 ECTS or above). Recognition as a CNS to meet service needs therefore requires the completion of a postgraduate qualification together with a minimum of 1 years’ specialist experience. This is in addition to meeting the requirements set by the HSE to ensure the delivery of safe, effective practice to meet service demands. In response to an identified service need a candidate CNS pathway has been established and sets out the following: Nurses/Midwives currently employed as Staff Nurses (SNs) and Enhanced Nurses/Midwives (EN/EMs) and any other nursing grades who have a minimum of 1 years clinical experience and who express an interest in CNS roles could be supported to progress on a candidate CNS pathway as follows: A recruitment campaign will be organised by the CHO/HG between local HR and services. Nurses/midwives who are successful at interview for candidate CNS post: Will be offered a contract for a candidate CNS Dementia Care at CNM1 grade with a job description outlining the cCNS competencies to be achieved. Will be required to demonstrate their specialist experience or if they do not possess the relevant specialist experience, they will be supported to attain one year’s clinical specialist experience. Will be required to demonstrate that they have completed the required postgraduate education, or agree and are supported to undertake the required postgraduate education, at level 9 qualification (equivalent to 60 ECTS or above) relevant to the specialist area. Will be required to demonstrate that they have continuing professional development (CPD) relevant to the specialist area or will be supported to obtain the required CPD. All of the above must be achieved within 2 years from appointment for this pathway. For Nurses/Midwives who express an interest in CNS roles and who currently hold a level 8 educational qualification in the specialist area (equivalent to 60 ECTS or above), this qualification will be recognised up to September 2026. The clinical experience requirements for this cohort of nurses/midwives remain consistent with the DoH (2019) policy, i.e. a minimum of 1 years’ experience in practice and a minimum of 1 years’ experience in the specialist area and they could be supported to progress on a candidate CNS Pathway. The above pathway is valid from May 2023 to September 2026.
