## Description

With Mersey care leading the collaboration and NHS England support, we are collaborating together across England to explore the commissioning of a provider to develop a virtual educational platform to support candidates with the CBT exam and also wider professional development learning to prepare them in entering the UK NHS mental health workforce\. The bidder should provide internationally educated mental health nurses with individual online practice education programme, undertaken in nurses' countries of origin prior to their arrival in England\. They should already be familiar with the NMC registration pathways for international nurses and midwives\. Content of this individual online support programme should enable the nurses to: • Feel fully prepared to undertake the NMC CBT exam for mental health nurses\. • Access practice question bank for the NMC CBT exam for mental health nurses\. • Access and complete bespoke modules prior to coming to the UK with content relating to delivering mental health nursing care in the NHS\. • Resources produced must also be able to be downloaded and accessed offline for candidates with limited internet access across countries\. • Resources delivered and adaptable for across countries, desktop and mobile devices, including adaptable to most browsers\. • Resources produced should also be translatable and accessed across several languages including English, particularly Filipino, Hindi, French, Spanish and Arabic\. In total, approximately a minimum of 400 mental health nurses will need to receive this individual online support prior to arriving to England\. We would also ask the provider to have flexibility to increase these numbers and have the server/capacity to offer the opportunity for purchasing of licences to around 2-3000 nurses over a 24-month period\. We would also require the awarded supplier to evaluate candidates' learning outcomes and experience of the platform and ability to demonstrate impact on the learners\.
