1. Welcome to your Practice Assessment Document (PAD) Student responsibilities This Practice Assessment Document is designed to support and guide you towards successfully achieving the 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 placement 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/Supervisor responsibilities As a Mentor/Supervisor you have an important role in supporting and guiding the student through their learning experience. This includes facilitating any reasonable adjustments the student 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 student. Duty rotas should support the development of the student/mentor relationship and allow the facilitation of learning. To enable this, 40% of the student s time spent in practice must be under your direct or indirect supervision. When assessing the student, take into account sources of evidence that encompass knowledge, skills, attitudes and the views of those receiving care. Comments should acknowledge those exceptional students who are exceeding expectations for their stage in practice or who have particularly commendable attitudes, behaviours, knowledge or skills. If the student 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. 3

Guidance for using the PAD to Facilitate and Guide Practice Learning All 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 and must be achieved by the end of each placement. Essential Skills: These can be assessed in a range of placements but need to be assessed as achieved at least once by the end of the year. Structured Teaching Session: In this document there is teaching session that involves the student participating in the teaching and assessment of another learner followed by a written reflection on the session. Patient/Service User/Carer Feedback Form: The mentor/supervisor must give permission before the person receiving care is approached for feedback on the student 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/interprofessional working and the second can be completed by any staff member (inc. academic representatives/link lecturer) who wish to record student progress. Process of practice assessment: Initial Interview Meeting to identify learning and development needs and learning opportunities. Mid Point Interview Meeting to discuss progress and identify learning and development needs. Final Interview Meeting to review progress and identify learning and development needs. 4

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 year. If any of the professional values are not achieved an opportunity to be reassessed will be given. If a student does not achieve any of the professional values following reassessment then this may affect the student s progression. Assessment of Essential Skills Students 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. Teaching Session In this document there is teaching session that involves the student participating in the teaching and assessment of another learner followed by a written reflection on the session. Submission Students 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. 5
