The School Of Nursing And Midwifery. Pre Registration Postgraduate Diploma in Nursing (Adult) FOCUSSED CLINICAL PRACTICE RECORD PART 1 Unit 1: SNM 617 Foundations in Health and Nursing Student Details NAME : REGISTRATION NUMBER : COHORT : PROGRAMME CODE : PERSONAL TEACHER :
In the spirit of Problem Based Learning, you will be given the opportunity to negotiate the last two weeks of Unit 1 placement experience. Whilst not summatively assessed, this negotiated experience is seen as integral in enhancing your personal and professional development. You will be expected to organise the practice experience focussing on a specific aspect of practice/care/specialism/ role/ in negotiation with your clinical mentor. This focused clinical practice experience will only be offered to students who have successfully achieved the competencies for part 1 of the programme. Students who fail to meet the required standards will utilise this period of time as part of a second attempt. SIGNATURES AND ASSESSMENT OF PRACTICE BOOKLETS. All students intending to join the health professions must be aware of the importance of accurate record-keeping and the need for ethical conduct in connection with signatures. Please ensure that attendance and performance during a practice learning experience is confirmed in the Assessment of Practice Record by the signature of each of your mentors and by submission of the Booklet, when required, for signature by your Personal Teacher. Any difficulty in obtaining the signature of a mentor must be discussed with your link lecturer or personal teacher prior to the submission date. Please be aware that the forgery of a signature is a very serious disciplinary matter. It is likely to lead to the student being charged under the Discipline Regulations of the University. The University Discipline Committee will take a serious view when deciding the penalty for such misconduct. Because you are undertaking a programme leading to professional registration this may involve the Fitness to Practice Committee. University Disciplinary Committees will take a serious view when deciding the penalty for such misconduct. The School of Nursing and Midwifery may, in addition, be obliged to advise the NMC that a student found to have forged a signature, is not of good character. The student could then be refused registration as a nurse or midwife. WANT TO KNOW MORE?
