Number of missing responses Limited sample although reasonable spread Focus tends to be on nursing staff/IPL not well embedded Staff report mixed competence in skills albeit these are
growing PPC not used in teaching on university courses Significant amount of training taught in house Varied knowledge of EOLC tools and strategies Teaching approaches seem in line with skills required Opportunities for learning seem to be there – APPLICATION There appears to be a gap in what is taught, learnt and
applied when one compares views Is practical assessment lacking? Largely taught post qualification and through in-house
training
