Guidelines for the completion of the Practice Assessment Document (PAD) for students and mentors 1.0 General guidelines Please read this document carefully and familiarise yourself with its contents.

For placements 1-2 the following must be completed: • Placement details • Orientation • Initial interview • Midpoint review • End of placement review • Assessment of professional values, practice outcomes and clinical skills • Service user feedback (placement 2) • Attendance record for practice hours

For placement 3 the following must be completed: • Placement details • Orientation • Initial interview • Midpoint review • Summative assessment • Assessment of professional values, practice outcomes and clinical skills • Service user feedback • Attendance record for practice hours

1.1 The initial interview (placements 1-3)

This is a formal interview between the student and mentor and should take place during the first week of placement. The following should be discussed: • Mentor comments and action plans from the previous placements including

years 1 and 2. • Individual student learning needs/objectives for the placement. • Learning opportunities on the placement and how they relate to the PAD. • How to demonstrate professional values. • Planned meeting times with mentor(s).

1.2 Midpoint review (placements 1-3) The midpoint review takes place half-way through the placement. Comments and action plans from this meeting should be documented. 1.3 End of placement review (placements 1-2) The end of placement review is completed in the final week of placements 1 and 2. Comments and action plans from this meeting should be documented. 1.4 Summative assessment (placement 3) The final assessment of proficiency draws on evidence of assessment over a sustained period of time. The sign-off mentor may use the previous PADs and other evidence to see if competence has been achieved and maintained previously, as well as demonstrated in the current placement. 1.5 Submission of the PAD It is the responsibility of the student to negotiate with their mentor to ensure that the PAD is completed and ready for submission by the submission dates indicated on page 4. The PAD constitutes an integral part of the formal assessment and examination process. Students should inform their programme or branch lead in the event of non-submission. 1.6 Monitoring point with personal tutor Students are required to discuss their PAD with their personal tutors on completion of placements 1 and 2. Professional values, practice outcomes, clinical skills and hours that were not achieved at the minimum required level will be clearly identified and documented on the personal tutor feedback sheet. An action plan will be formulated to monitor progress. Students should also arrange to see their personal tutor prior to submission of the PAD at the end of the year. This is to ensure that the PAD is completed satisfactorily and to answer queries/ concerns.

5.0 Sign-off mentor record sheet

The NMC identify that sign-off mentors must have time allocated to reflect, give feedback and keep records of student achievements in their final period of practice learning. This will be the equivalent of an hour per student per week, in addition to the 40% time working with the mentor. The time allocated may need to be greater earlier in the placement and reduced as they become more confident and competent (NMC 2007). The first meeting should include a discussion of the student’s on-going record of achievement from years 1 and 2 and final year’s placements.

6.0 Assessment in practice

Assessment in practice consists of three domains: professional values, practice outcomes and clinical skills.

The performance rating scale below is used to assess practice.

Quality of Performance Outcome Level

• The student is unable to follow instructions or guidance from the mentor. • The student has a lack of understanding of the rationale for the activity. • The student spends excessive time on the activity placing little focus on the patient.

The student has demonstrated unsafe practice through the inability to discuss, perform and/or follow instructions despite repeated guidance.

Unsafe (U)

• The student is dependent on guidance and clear prompts to undertake the activity. • The student has some understanding of the rationale for the activity. • The student may lack confidence, spending considerable time on the activity with

some attempt to focus on the patient.

The student is able to perform the activity safely under direct supervision and guidance.

Expectation in CFP

Novice (N)

• The student is able to perform the activity under moderate supervision within a controlled scenario.

• The student is skilful in some aspects and demonstrates an understanding of the rationale for the activity.

• The student has some degree of confidence in the activity, some efficiency in the use of time with some focus on the patient.

The student can discuss and perform elements of the activity safely with moderate supervision and guidance, but may not always achieve this.

Expectation in Year 2

Sometimes Able (SA)

• The student is competent in performing the activity under minimal supervision. • The student demonstrates a clear understanding of the rationale for the activity. • The student is skilful and coordinated with economical use of time and is able to focus

on the patient.

The student is able to demonstrate competent, safe practice with minimal supervision. The student is able to apply relevant knowledge and evidence to practice and discuss the transfer of this knowledge to more complex situations.

10.0 Attendance for clinical supervision sessions

All third year students must attend a minimum of six clinical supervision sessions within year 3 and have each of these signed and dated in the PAD. Please note that attendance is mandatory and that clinical supervision is supported and recognised by the NMC. Ground rules for clinical supervision will be given to students prior to commencing year 3 and these should be shared with mentors. Please list below the dates on which you have attended clinical supervision so that we can see how many you have attended.

If you attend a clinical supervision session when you are on shift, this cannot be claimed as extra clinical hours. If your clinical supervision takes place when you are not on shift, you may claim this as clinical time but you must record it on the weekly timesheet page and it must be signed off.

Completing your weekly timesheets • Record the hours you have been rostered to work each week. Then, in the appropriate column, indicate the actual shift times you worked,

and the total number of hours this equates to. • For each shift worked you must obtain the signature of your supervisor ie qualified nurse or mentor (or other professional), who can verify

the hours worked. Shifts that have not been signed will not be included in your total. • Ensure you indicate, using ‘N’, if the shift was a night shift. • If you are sick, and did not work the rostered hours, you must indicate this using ‘S’ against the relevant shift. You must also complete the

on-line notification: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/teares/nmvc/prereg/absence/student/index.php • If you are sick/absent and make up hours, these should be recorded in the separate section at the end (page 76), and added to the overall

placement total. • Record the total hours for each WEEK. • Write the TOTAL number of hours worked on the placement in the box at the end. • All changes to written information must be verified with a new signature and date. One line through a mistake and no tippex.

PADs that are filled in incorrectly, or where the weekly or overall totals have not been completed, will be returned for correction before being processed.
