Competency Development
The philosophy behind the development of competency-based standards is that the specialty professional body develops and owns the standards, utilises them to underpin practice and inform the directions of professional development. The AWHNA is responsible for the regular review of the competency standards.
Please note that this document is currently under review with new document available June 2009
