PlaceMate brings together the tools UK student nurses juggle across notebooks, spreadsheets and half a dozen apps, built around the NMC standards and connected so your evidence flows from one to the next.
Never lose track of your 2,300 practice hours
Log the hours for every shift and watch them count toward the NMC's 2,300-hour practice requirement automatically, per placement and overall.
Plan placement, uni and life in one calendar
A calendar built for the realities of a nursing course: long days, night shifts and study weeks. Plan shifts ahead, then mark them as completed to feed your hours log.
All 219 proficiencies, and the evidence for each
Track every one of the 219 NMC proficiency statements across the 7 platforms and both annexes. Set a status, attach evidence from your shifts, skills and reflections, and see your gaps at a glance.
The NMC Annexe B skills, plus your own
Your clinical skills list seeds from the NMC's Annexe B nursing procedures, the national baseline every skills passport builds on, and you can add the local skills your university requires.
Build medicines knowledge and numeracy
Keep your own medication notes as you meet new drugs on placement, and sharpen your maths with a drug-calculation practice tool that checks your working and tracks accuracy.
Reflect with the Gibbs cycle, PII-safe
Write structured reflections using the Gibbs reflective cycle, with a guided prompt for each of the six stages and a standing reminder to keep patient-identifiable information out.
Plan your revision around placement
Build a revision timetable that fits around shifts and deadlines, so exams and assignments never sneak up on you mid-placement.
Look after the nurse, too
Nursing training is demanding. Simple self-care check-ins help you notice how you are doing and build habits that keep you well across a tough placement.
