N2 - Reducing avoidable nursing student attrition is an international challenge. A pattern of falling attendance is recognised as a frequent precursor to withdrawal from nursing programmes. To address concerns regarding nursing student attrition, the Scottish Government implemented a pilot project for a centralised Computerised Absence Management and Monitoring System (CAMMS). The CAMMS adopted an ‘assertive outreach’ approach, contacting students every two weeks via colour coded letters to tell them whether their attendance was ‘excellent’, ‘good, but potentially causing concern’; or ‘warning; attendance concerns/contact academic staff for support’. This article reports key findings from an evaluation of CAMMS.
