1 University of Bolton Health and Community Studies Practice Placement Policy for BSc (Hons) Nursing (Adult) 1.0 Background
2 1.1Practice experience has been acknowledged as an important and integral component of nursing education for many years. However, the specific responsibilities of all parties involved needs to be clearly articulated and monitored. This must be underpinned by a duty to respect individuals and take positive steps to uphold their dignity and human rights. 1.2All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights (United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, 1948). Article 14 of the Human Rights Act (1998) prohibits discrimination. Unfair discrimination has a damaging impact, whatever the basis on which people make assumptions about the needs, ability or potential of others (Roche, 2000). 1.3.General guidance on placement experience is outlined in Placements in Focus (ENB and DoH, 2001) and in the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Principles for Practice Learning (NMC QA Fact Sheet C/2004 UK). In 2004 the NMC outlined their principles for programmes leading to entry on the professional register. There are five guiding principles for practice learning and these support the quality of learning and inform the quality assurance activity undertaken by and on behalf of the NMC. The principles must be demonstrated both at approval and through ongoing monitoring of all NMC programmes. The five principles are: 1. Ensuring partnerships for learning. 2. Managing practice-focused learning. 3. Ensuring fitness for practice. 4. Positive student experience. 5. Enhancing quality. 1.4 Adherence to this policy is to ensure consistency in the implementation of placement guidance across the Trust 2.0 Policy a)this policy is consistent with current guidance and legislation in relation to practice placements, professional conduct, equality of opportunity, employment and human rights.
3 b)this policy recognises the partnership between those charged with managing and delivering practice education and the students c)all those involved in the practice placement are required to treat each other with due respect and courtesy. d)all those involved in the practice placement process can expect that they will not be discriminated against on the grounds of age, disability, gender, race, religion or belief and sexual orientation. e)procedures must be in place to ensure that each student is offered a suitably prepared and updated named Sign-Off Mentor / Mentor / Registrant to provide supervision and ongoing feedback on progress (NMC, 2008). f)the Sign-Off Mentor / Mentor / Registrant will facilitate the student to maximise their learning opportunities whilst on placement and to complete on time any required documentation. g)information relating to normal working conditions within the placement area and key contact personnel must be easily accessible to students. h)records of student non-attendance and progress must be maintained and shared with the Higher Education Institution (HEI). i)agreed communication links and systems must be in place in order that the practice placement area is routinely and regularly audited every two years to satisfy the requirements of the statutory bodies. j)factors affecting the quality of the placement provision must be made known as soon as possible to all stakeholders in order that appropriate intervention can be instituted. k)processes must be in place to ensure that students are appropriately prepared to maximise their learning opportunities whilst on practice placement by both the HEI and clinical staff. 3.0 The Responsibilities of Stakeholders
