3 Introduction This inventory forms an important part of your Professional Development Portfolio and is linked to the practice assessment modules in each year of the programme The PAR (Practice Assessment Record) document encompasses the NMC Essential Skills Clusters and this Skills Inventory should be seen as supplementary to the achievement of competencies within the PAR. This document along with the PAR will be reviewed with your Personal Tutor (PT) at regular intervals. The purpose of these meetings is to ensure that you are making satisfactory progress and that all appropriate opportunities for skills acquisition are being utilised Signature Records Any suitably prepared and competent practitioner can sign the skills inventory, providing they feel assured they you have sufficient knowledge and evidence of your ability. Remember to ask each signatory to complete the register of signatures at the back of the inventory Guidance The Skills Inventory contains a range of skills that relate to the NMC Essential Skills Clusters which should apply to all care situations, but which may also be applied in a field specific context. There is also space to record acquisition of further skills (not included in the inventory) to enhance your own personal portfolio of experiences. (See blank record sheet toward the rear of the inventory) All skills must be practised in accordance with the policies and guidelines in place on that particular placement area and performed under the supervision of a suitably prepared Practitioner (NMC 2010) When developing nursing skills in practice you will be expected: to directly observe a practitioner carrying out the skill and discuss its underlying evidence base with your mentor/supervisor. to practise the skill under supervision to be deemed competent by your mentor. Only when your mentor/supervisor feels that you can consistently 3

4 undertake the skill in a safe and effective manner (under close supervision), they will sign to say that you are competent in that skill (year 1) and competent (under less direct supervision) in Year 2 and developing autonomy in Year 3. These judgements may be made earlier than the expected progression point deadline, but cannot be deferred to a later date. Even if competence has been demonstrated you should continue to take whatever opportunities are available to further practice the skill and maintain your competence on every placement Throughout your programme, you will have 2 main practice experiences per year in a range of different areas. Not all of the practice areas will offer opportunities to practice and/or achieve all of the skills; however whilst on a practice experience, the Hub and Spoke practice model may allow you the opportunity to experience other practice areas and develop wider skill sets. Essential skills Clusters (ESCs) and Progression Points The majority of skills identified in the Skills Inventory are linked to ESCs and have to be achieved at various progression points. Should mentors wish to seek clarification on the level of autonomy and competence expected by the NMC at each progression point can be found in annexe 3 of the Standards for pre-registration nursing education (NMC 2010) Skills Action Plans Action Plans for achievement of skills detailed in this inventory can be found toward the end of this inventory and are tools to help students to self-manage their skills acquisition. A blank template has been provided for each practice learning experience. Completing a plan will help you focus on which skills are yet to be achieved as the programme progresses. Discussing them with your mentor / supervisor will help agree a course of action if gaining competency in a skill is proving difficult or if for example, a lack of opportunity hinders skill development. The action plan may involve simulation in the university, a short visit to another practice area or practitioner, or may simply involve more frequent and focused support. Completed action plans are useful evidence of professional development and should remain a part of the inventory to link to your personal 4

5 development portfolio and personal tutor reviews. Tips for Effective Skills Acquisition (1) Professional education is underpinned by an adult learning ethos. Although your mentor will be keen to develop an effective partnership in facilitating your learning, the ownership and ultimate responsibility for your learning remains with you. (2) Keep this inventory with you whilst on practice and ideally refer to it each shift (3) Get into the habit of considering which skills experience to aim for at the start of a shift and discuss your achievements to the practitioners you have worked with when you feel ready to be signed off. (4) Ask for help from your mentor/supervisor. Some skills are more complex than others and require different expectations of performance depending on experience (e.g. Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable adult). In these situations further guidance has been given as to the expected level of performance for each progression point. (5) Remember that any suitably prepared and competent practitioner can sign you as competent in a skill, providing they feel assured they have sufficient knowledge and evidence of your ability to do so. (6) Don t lose yours skills booklet! Periodic photocopying of completed pages for safe storage in your wider portfolio guards against loss. You can replace a blank inventory but it will be extremely difficult to replace hard earned competency signatures. (7) Ensure you complete the skills that are linked to progression points. Your mentor and practice module leader will guide you in what is appropriate. (8) Use a variety of ways to demonstrate your skill. Demonstrating to a mentor or supervisor that you are competent in a skill can be through observable demonstration, answering questions, obtaining statements from other practitioners, undertaking a simulated skill in practice, or sharing a reflection on the skill. A mixture of these forms of evidence will be used in any assessment by a mentor or supervisor. (9) Keep practising and use every opportunity to acquire new skills. You are advised to focus on achieving all additional skills within your own field whilst familiarising yourself with the other field specific additional skills to promote inter-professional understanding. (10) Remember to ask each signatory to complete the register of signatures at the back of the inventory 5
