Abstract:
The application of the new nursing training reference framework requires the active participation of professionals in the field, notably with assessing students' skills during a work placement. The skills approach represents a paradigm shift for caregivers, one which requires reflection with regard to their activities, and the creation of tools suitable for constructive assessment. A task force within the Toulouse cancer unit has been created to reflect on and support the changes brought about by the reform.
