The reasons for the tool
 Momentum behind Core Skills and resources developed
have allowed proactive organisations to run with it
 Need a level of assurance and central view point
for wider system benefits:
- Reduced Duplication
- Greater portability
- Collaboration between organisations
- ‘Preferred Supplier List’ of delivery options
 Opportunity to align with the National Framework

SN@P Numeracy Assessment
and Education
Assuring the NHS and practice
partners of the numerical competence
of the current and future nursing
workforce through the use of a
Standardised Numerical Assessment
Process
National HSJ Patient Safety Awards 2013
Background / Drivers
• Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) concerns
• Medication errors and incidents throughout UK
• Increasing service provider organisation assessment of
new and experienced staff entering their employment
– Wasteful and possibly invalid assessments
– Significant numbers of staff fail assessments
• Several HEI and provider organisations turned to costly
independent provider solutions
• Primary target group were HEI’s however interest grew
from NHS organisations
Project Proposal
To form a region wide, cross sector collaboration
of key organisations to plan, design and produce
a Standardised Numeracy Assessment Process
(SNAP).
Including:
–Colleges of FE
–Higher Education Institutes
–NHS Service providers

Enabling Ordinary Practice
SNAP provides NHS Staff with an online freely accessible numeracy
tool to allow them to administer safe practice to patients through:
•Accessing the practice assessments to improve Confidence and
Competence when dealing with drug calculations and administration
•Independently monitoring their progress to ensure they are working
with sufficient numeracy skills
•Assessing their clinical knowledge as well as assuring numerical
ability
•Taking formal assessments assigned by Ward Manager’s to ensure
they are competent with core numeracy skills and clinical
administration
SNAP within the NHS
Errors in medication delivery due to prescribing or
administering the wrong dose remain a common cause of
patient safety incidents. The use of an online standardised
numeracy assessment tool has allowed NHS Organisations
across England to utilise the resource as:
•Part of assuring numerical competency throughout IV Drug
Administration study days for new and existing staff
•Part of the recruitment and selection process for newly
qualified staff
•An independent learning and assurance tool for existing
Allied Health Professional staff
•A resource to support continuing professional development
(CPD) through providing a learning forum to prepare for
course and job interviews
Current Collaboration
Collaboration Recruitment
129 organisations throughout England registered

kilograms.
The scale of the
drawing of your
new office is
1cm:2m. If the
length of the
office on the
scale drawing is
3.5cm, what is
the actual length
of your new
office in metres?
Clinical Numeracy Level 1
A palliative care patient is
prescribed 50 mg of morphine

0.9% should be added as the
dilutent. How many ampoules
of morphine are required?
Clinical Numeracy Level 2
A patient with pneumonia is
prescribed meropenem
1gram three times/day. The
prepared volume is 100mL
sodium chloride 0.9%. If it
should be infused over 1530 minutes, what is the

rates of infusion in mL/hour?
Syringe Question
A 76 year old male patient
