• This paper outlines the development of a competency model to be used to assess clinical competence during a post‐registration specialist course. • A nominal group technique was used to gather data about the detailed practice of paediatric oncology nurses. • The nominal group technique was chosen to achieve consultation and consensus with a professional group. • The six steps from undertaking the nominal group technique to implementation are described in detail. • Some reflections on the use of competency statements are offered.
