This chapter provides an outline of recent developments in health care, policy and practice in the United Kingdom (UK) and their implications for nursing. Definitions of competence and performance are discussed with the author arguing that both competence and performance comprise knowledge, skills and attitudes, but while competence focuses on what one knows and does under ideal circumstances, performance refers to actual situated practice. Assessment of nursing practice is then discussed and the chapter concludes with implications for education, practice and policy.
