How can I refresh a clinical skill I’ve not used in a while?

Nurses need to remain up-to-date with their knowledge and clinical skills to ensure safe practice, in line with the Nursing and Midwifery Council code. However, due to enhanced specialisation in healthcare, nurses working in some settings may become less familiar or confident with certain clinical skills. We outline how nurses can refresh their skills, areas where clinical nursing skills may become rusty, and ways to access refresher courses, supervised practice or simulation in skills training hubs.
