Practice Assessment Document: Year 1

1.Welcome to your Practice Assessment Document (PAD)

Trainees responsibilitiesThis Practice Assessment Document (PAD) is designed to support and guide you towards successfully achieving the standards set out by the NMC and criteria set out in the Nursing Associate Curriculum Framework.

The PAD makes up a significant part of your overall programme assessment. It will need to be processed through formal University systems. Continuous assessment is an integral aspect of assessment in practice and you are expected to show evidence of consistent achievement.

Ensure you are familiar with your university assessment and submission processes for this document and contact the academic representative from your university, or refer to the University VLE if you require support or advice on specific university procedures.

The Ongoing Achievement Record (OAR) is a separate document that summarises your achievements in each placement and with the main document provides a comprehensive record of your professional development and performance in practice.

You are responsible for the safekeeping and maintenance of the PAD. It should be available to your mentor/supervisor at all times when you are in practice together with the OAR. Alterations should be made in this document by crossing through with one line, with a signature and date.

You will have access to confidential information when in practice. The PAD should not contain any patient/service user/carer identifiable information. Contents must not be disclosed to any unauthorised person or removed, photocopied or used outside practice or university.

Mentor responsibilitiesAs a Mentor you have an important role in supporting and guiding the trainee through their learning experience. This includes facilitating any reasonable adjustments the trainee may need to get maximum benefit from practice.

As well as undertaking the required assessments, your role also includes identifying relevant learning opportunities and creating learning and development plans with the trainee. Duty rotas should support the development of the trainee/mentor relationship and allow the facilitation of quality learning.

When assessing the trainee, take into account sources of evidence that encompass knowledge, skills, attitudes and the views of those receiving care. Comments should acknowledge those exceptional trainees who are exceeding expectations for their stage in practice or who have particularly commendable attitudes, behaviours, knowledge or skills.

If the trainee is not meeting the required standards this should be highlighted as a development need. If there is a cause for concern or a fitness for practice issue that requires prompt action an Action Plan should be instigated to address specific needs or concerns with a specified timeframe. In the event of this, seek guidance from the Personal Academic Tutor (PAT) and/or senior practice representative.

Practice Assessment Document: Year 1

Guidance for using the PAD to Facilitate and Guide Practice LearningAll mentors/supervisors/other professionals who comment in this document should sign and give their details on the record page which can be found in the first section of this document.

Professional Values: These are assessed once a year.

Essential Skills: These can be assessed at any point by the end of the year.

Assessment of an Episode of Care: This assesses the trainee’s progress towards competency and must be achieved by the end of the year.

Patient/Service User/Carer Feedback Form: The mentor/supervisor must give permission before the person receiving care is approached for feedback on the trainee’s performance. This is not formally assessed but may contribute to the mentor/supervisor’s overall feedback.

Recording Additional Experiences and Feedback: There are two additional forms (included in each placement section, the first of these relates to working with other healthcare professionals/inter-professional working and the second can be completed by any staff member (inc. academic representatives/link lecturer) who wish to record trainee progress.

Process of practice assessment:

2.GUIDELINES FOR ASSESSMENT AND PROGRESSION

Assessment of Professional Values in Practice

Professional values will be assessed in each placement and following assessment must be achieved in order to progress to the next part. If any of the professional values are not achieved an opportunity to be reassessed will be given. If a trainee does not achieve any of the professional values following reassessment then this may affect the trainee’s progression.

Assessment of Essential Skills

Trainees need to achieve all Essential Skills (at least once) by the end of each year of the programme in order to progress, though many skills can be assessed on more than one occasion. If the opportunity to be assessed on a particular skill is not available, then the corresponding field is left blank.

Episodes of Care

There is an episode of care that involves the trainee participating in an observed aspect of care followed by a written reflection on the care given.

Submission

Trainees will be required to submit their PAD to their PAT at the end of each year.

Moderation

A sample of PADS will be moderated as per the university process.
