Abstrakt: Nurses working with major trauma patients in ward environments in the UK are expected to evidence their knowledge and skills in a set of national competencies. This article describes a bespoke major trauma course and a coaching and portfolio development programme designed to enhance ward nurses' knowledge and skills, help them evidence their competence and support their professional development. Evaluation of the course showed an overall improvement in nurses' self-rated competence and confidence in a range of relevant major trauma topics and clinical skills. Evaluation of the coaching and portfolio development programme showed that nurses believed their knowledge and skills had improved after taking part and that they valued the opportunity for professional development.
