GUIDELINES,FOR,PRACTICE,EDUCATORS,FOR,COMPLETING,THIS,FORM'''
'
The'assessment'of'the'student’s'performance'is'divided'into'two'Parts.'
'
Part,1:,,,This'Part'carries'no'marks'but'the'student’s'performance'must'be'satisfactory'in'order'to'
pass'the'placement.'Failure'of'any'objective'in'Part'1'at'any'point'during'the'placement'will'
override'Part'2'of'the'assessment'and'cause'the'student'to'fail'the'placement.''
In'a'situation'where'there'is'concern'relating'to'safety'or'professional'behaviour'a'written'
warning'must'be'completed'and'must'be'signed'by'both'Student'and'Practice'Educator.'A'
written'warning'does'not'constitute'failure.',Please,ensure,you,place,a,tick,in,the,relevant,box,and,sign,and,date,to,indicate,pass,or,fail,for,each,objective,in,Part,1., Part,2:,,This'Part'contains'four'areas'of'practice'(sections)'each'of'which'contributes'to'the'overall'
grade.''These'sections'comprise:c'' ' ' ' '
'
Interpersonal'Skills' Professionalism' Treatment/Management' Clinical'Reasoning'
'
Learning'outcomes'have'been'identified'and'listed'for'each'section.''The'learning'
outcomes'indicate'what'the'student'should'have'achieved'by'the'end'of'the'placement'(if,a,particular,learning,outcome,is,not,applicable,it,should,be,recorded,as,such,,signed,by,the,Practice,Educator,and,disregarded,when,marking,that,section).''
Assessment'criteria'for'each'learning'outcome'are'also'given.'You'should'apply'these'to'
the'learning'outcomes'in'order'to'analyse'the'student’s'performance'and'decide'upon'the'
mark'to'be'awarded.'You,may,wish,to,circle,,underline,or,highlight,the,criteria,that,most,closely,reflect,the,student’s,performance.'The'Student'should'receive'an'indicator'within'the'band'which'most'clearly'reflects'their'achievements'in'relation'to'each'learning'
outcome.'The'overall'mark'for'each'section'should'be'determined'by'the'spread'of'the'
student’s'achievements.'''Please'note'that'for'the'purposes'of'this'form'the'word'‘routine’'implies'the'type'of'patients,'specific'to'the'relevant'placement,'that'students'at'level'2'
would'be'expected'to'be'able'to'assess'or'treat.''The'complexity'of'these'patients'will'vary'
depending'on'the'nature'and'speciality'of'the'placement.'Please'also'note'that'the'First'
classification'band'on'the'assessment'form'is'larger'than'all'the'other'categories,'
incorporating'30%'of'the'assessment'scale'(70c100%).''It'is'therefore'expected'that'
exceptional'students'may'be'graded'towards'the'high'end'of'this'scale'in'comparison'to'excellent'or'very,good'students,'who'may'still'be'worthy'of'a'first,'may'be'graded'on'the'lower'end'of'the'scale.''
'
Space'is'provided'for'both'comments'and'a'grade'to'be'recorded'at'halfcway'and'at'the'
end'of'the'placement'(for'feedback'at'halfcway'a'numerical'grade'is'not'necessarily'
required.'You'may'prefer'to'indicate'a'band'that'most'clearly'reflects'the'achievements'at'
that'stage).'Please,inform,the,student,at,the,beginning,of,the,placement,whether,you,intend,to,give,a,half_way,mark,,band,or,only,comments.'A'numerical'grade'is(required'for'each'section'at'the'end'of'placement,'again,'please'write'the'grade'in'the'relevant'box,'
sign'and'date'each'section'(the'University'will'calculate'the'final'placement'mark).'
General:'''
Space'for'any'general'comments'or'recommendations'regarding'the'Student’s'learning'/'
practice'is'also'provided.'This'should'be'completed'collaboratively'and'signed'at'the'end'of'
the'placement.'
'
A'learning'contract'is'included'in'the'booklet.''The'learning'contract'will'normally'be'filled'in'
by'the'Student'and'monitored'by'the'Practice'Educator.''This'is'intended'to'assist'both'
students'and'clinical'staff'in'identifying'individual'needs'and'in'planning'the'progression'of'
the'placement.''Please'be'aware'that'students'with'identified'special'needs'should'be'
graded'by'whether'they'can'achieve'the'learning'outcomes'only'once'they'have'been'
given'the'extra'support'they'require.'''
'
A'record'of'clinical'hours'is'also'included.''The'university'is'required'to'ensure'that'all'
