Standards for education and training

Standards for student supervision and assessment

Three headings

• Effective practice learning

• Supervision of students

• Assessment of students and confirmation of proficiency

Principles of our new standards for student supervision and assessment

Potential benefits

• Separate supervision and assessment roles to:

• Increase consistency in assessment judgments

• Avoid ‘failing to fail’ situations

• Improve interprofessional working

• Enhance joint working between AEIs and practice placement partners

• Supporting students becomes every NMC registrant’s responsibility (it’s in the Code)

• Everyone will have an input to assessment

Effective practice learning

Learning Environment

Delegation

Supervision

Public safety

• The student level

• The programme

• The route

New roles:

• Practice

supervisor

• Practice

assessor

• Learning

opportunities

• New models of

supervision &

assessment

• Empower and

meet student

expectations

• Delegation of

care interventions

• Learn in a safe &

effective way

Practice supervision

• In practice, students are supervised by an NMC registered nurse or midwife, or another registered health and social care professionals, who:

• uphold public protection

• provide inclusive, tailored learning experiences

• give feedback

• contribute to decisions on assessment and progression

• raise concerns where necessary.

• Practice supervision ensures safe and effective learning experiences.

• There is sufficient coordination and continuity of support and supervision of students.

Assessor roles

All students are assigned to:

• a practice assessor for a practice placement or a series of practice placements

• an academic assessor for each part of the education programme.

The assessors are:

• registered nurses or midwives with appropriate equivalent experience for the student’s field of practice.

Practice assessors

• Conduct assessments to confirm that the student has achieved the proficiencies and outcomes.

• assessment decisions are informed by feedback from practice supervisors

• Work in partnership with the academic assessor regarding student progression.

• periodically observe the student across environments to inform decisions

• have an understanding of student’s learning and achievement in theory.

Academic assessors

• Conduct assessments to confirm that the student has achieved the proficiencies and outcomes.

• assessment decisions are informed by feedback from practice supervisors

• Work in partnership with the practice assessor regarding student progression.

• Communication and collaboration is scheduled for relevant points in the programme

Considerations

• Need for effective partnerships between AEIs and practice placement partners

• Introduction of new roles

• What supervision and assessment model will work in your practice placements?

• Who are your supervisors and assessors?

• How will you prepare them for their role

• Impact of the new standards on all registrants

• Awareness of the new roles for supervision and assessment

• Awareness of and review of the standards of proficiency in keeping with your/their scope of practice

• Planning your/their CPD accordingly in preparation for revalidation

Supporting information for supervision and assessment

1. Practice supervision

Comfort Break - 11.30- 11.50 am

Overview of Models of Supervision

Clare Marie Dickson Nursing Modernisation Manager for Workforce & Education

South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust

Mentorship Model

• Current model (Mentor, Sign off mentor, Practice Teacher)

• 1:1 relationship

• Supervise, teach and assess Nursing & Midwifery Students in the practice setting

Traditional Model (Block or Rotational Placement Model)

• Funded clinical facilitator

• Clinical facilitator is responsible for a group of students over several clinical areas

• Students buddied with RN over several clinical areas

• Variation of this model is ‘cluster model’ where students are located in one clinical area

CLiP Model - Collaborative Learning in Practice

• Coaching model/approach

• Step up – Step back

• Students encouraged to take lead in their practice and have greater input into own learning

• Real life learning wards

• Whole team approach

• Students care for own patient group

• Fundamental to success of this model is support from Clinical educator/teacher

‘The student ward model’ is a variation of CLiP

Hub and Spoke Model

Hub and Spoke model involves a base practice placement (hub) from which the students learning is complemented by additional activities (spoke).

What transcends all models?

Sense of belonging!
