The Mentor's responsibility is to PLAN & CO-ORDINATE their students' learning experience and allocate an appropriate coach to each of their students in order for them to meet their daily goal, whilst working towards their practice outcomes. Mentors must retain accountability / responsibility for all aspects of student assessment.

What is the role of the coach in this framework? Coaches Coaches will be central to the success of the student experience in their placement and will support the development of their professional identity as a registered nurse. Within this framework all registered practitioners will be expected to act in a coaching role with students and will receive preparation to understand the EPSF and their role within it.

Why do coaches have to be registered practitioners in this framework? Coaches Student nurses are preparing to enter a professional register and must be able to demonstrate the skills and attributes of a registered nurse. To achieve this, they must spend substantial time with a registered practitioner. The coach may decide that the student should spend some time working with an HCA/HCSW as part of their experience. Effective skillful questioning requires in-depth knowledge. All registered nurses are bound by the NMC Code 2015 to facilitate learners and act as a professional role model. Supporting learners keeps practitioners up to date. Feedback to learners must always come from the coach or their mentor

Skillful Questioning

Applying Skillful Questioning List the open questions you might ask a student to explore their understanding of each of the following: A patient's prescribed drug (e.g. Digoxin for a patient with atrial fibrillation). A patient whose blood pressure is high. The challenges faced when nursing a patient with dementia. The Glasgow Coma Scale

COACHING USING THE T-GROW MODEL Topic....Tell me what you want to gain from today and how this fits with your stage of training? Goal.... What is your actual goal for this shift? Reality.... What experience do you have related to this already? Options.....What is available / happening today that will support you in achieving this goal? What options do we have? Way Forward What else could you have considered today? What do you think you would do differently next time? How can you further improve? TopicGoal Options Reality Way Forward

Anglia Ruskin University Student Coaching Log Topic Goal Reality Options Way Forward Signature Coach Date Provides guidance for the daily goal to be achieved by the student.

Only the coach -a registered professional- can sign the student’s reflection on their goal Personal Care (PP1) – PROGRESS SHEET Date Experience and Comments Signature 2 December 2016 Goal: To demonstrate privacy, dignity and respect towards service users I have participated in the provision of personal hygiene needs and discussed patient preferences with the patient. I tried to consider how the patient might be feeling when being bed-bathed and took several measures to try to maintain dignity e.g. drew curtains, ensured no part of the patient’s body was exposed unless being washed, and talked and listened to the patient whilst delivering care, including them in decisions. A doctor entered whilst the patient was being bed bathed which compromised dignity and respect. Next time I will consider using a dignity peg to prevent intrusion into the bed space during personal care. J. Jones (student) R. Murray (coach)

What do coaches do in this framework? Coaches At the beginning of the shift...take 5 minutes to support the student in formulating a goal for the day related to one of their practice competencies. Allow the student 5-10 minutes to document their goal in their coaching log. Support the student to work through their goal by ensuring appropriate support and experiences are available to them. It is essential that this takes place at the beginning of the shift and not retrospectively.

And………………………………………… Coaches During the shift, use skillful questioning to help develop the student's critical thinking skills. Meet with the student for a few minutes before the end of the shift to discuss their progress. Allow the students 5-10 minutes to document this feedback and sign their log for accuracy of the entry before the end of the shift.
