From what my CC tells me from the most recent meetings she has been to, C&G are going to be slot stricter than the RCVS when it come to auditing the NPL. For example, if a task has been open for a long time before competency is claimed, no mention of time, but I'd think over a year maybe(??), they will question why. It is a PROGRESS log so if you aren't progressing then it will need justifying. They also do not want students being overloaded with lots and lots of tasks open and on going. I know......confusing or what?! I suspect it will take quite a few years for C&G to get a grip of the NPL but IMO will be for the greater good in the end. X

I dont know about theory exams but ive been told that a students npl was refused/failed (however you wanna put it) because she completed 4/5 sections in the two weeks before he practical exams. Im spreading my out as much as i can, dont wanna be in the same position

No there isnt :) I took my first exam today, my NPL isnt absolutely brilliant, on about 8% a month - but they didnt even ask about the NPL - I think that is just for the OSCE's next year.

I didn't think there was a limit... Two nurses at work are second years and they got exam next Monday but there about 55-60% complete already.
