The Royal College of Nursing’s Breast Care Nursing Society is committed to promoting excellence in nursing practice. The following clinical standards articulate dimensions of breast care nursing that are designed to promote uniform and high quality care. They provide guidance for nursing performance, and define what it means to provide skilled nursing care within a breast specialty.
These clinical standards should be used in conjunction with the RCN’s Core career and competency framework. The standards contain essential knowledge and skills which are the prerequisites for competent nursing practice.
