About this toolkit
The NCD AI Nursing Toolkit helps nurses, nursing associates, students and nurse educators in the UK use AI safely, in ways that keep people at the centre of care. It is created and maintained by Nursing Citizen Development CIC.
What makes it different
Built on nursing, not technology
Follows the nursing process (Assess, Plan, Implement, Evaluate), so AI is judged at each stage of care.
Grounded in nursing theory
Three nursing lenses run through every page: Person-centred practice, Ways of knowing, and Novice to expert.
UK & EU regulatory alignment
Written for the NMC Code and proficiency standards, NHS DCB0129/0160 clinical safety, UK data protection law and the EU AI Act.
Verified & dated claims
Time-sensitive claims are logged against primary sources in the claims ledger, and each page shows when it was last verified.
Who it is for
Nurses, midwives & nursing associates
Practical red lines, platform comparisons and 49 searchable prompts across all six fields of nursing.
Pre-registration students
Safe rehearsal prompts, placement AI scribe rules, and interactive error-spotting exercises.
Supervisors, assessors & educators
Curriculum frameworks, Two-Lane assessment guidance, lesson planners and NMC proficiency mappings.
Practice development & digital leads
Interactive team worksheets for Values Clarification, Claims Concerns & Issues (CCI), and printable ward posters.
How to use it
New to AI? Begin with Start here. Then go to the stage of care you are working on, or explore Changing practice together to bring a team with you.
What it is not
The toolkit is educational. It isn't clinical guidance, legal advice or a substitute for your organisation's policies. Where they differ, follow your organisation's approved policies and the NMC Code.
