15. ACTIVITY ONE: Looking at the students Learning Outcomes for your area In small groups - 1.What personal and professional qualities and skills do student nurses need to develop in order to effectively prepare them for working within your area and achieving their learning outcomes ? 2.How can you as a Supervisor enhance the development of these qualities and skills in students whilst on placement? Prepare feedback for discussion with the main group

16. ACTIVITY TWO: Dealing with difficult situations as a Supervisor and having difficult conversations In pairs Identify situations you find difficult in your Supervisors role (maintaining confidentiality and anonymity during your discussion) 1.What do you find difficult? 2.Why do you find this difficult? 3.What strategies can you use to help you manage difficult situations in a constructive and helpful way? Prepare feedback for discussion with the main group

17. Negotiating and recording student learning in the spoke placements The students allocated hub and spoke placements should be discussed in the initial tripartite meeting and learning opportunities and expected learning outcomes negotiated with the practice and academic mentor. A record of this should be provided by the student to the spoke supervisor who may also identify learning objectives. On the first and last day of the spoke placement the spoke placement documentation record is completed by the student and their supervisor. This information should be reviewed by the practice mentor for the hub as it will contribute towards their assessment decisions – but is not the basis of them.

18. SUPPORTING STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

19. The NMC states that practitioners must be ‘in good health, capable of safe and effective practice without supervision. It does not mean the absence of any disability or health condition. Many disabled people and those with long term health conditions are able to practise with or without adjustments to support their practice’. (NMC 2010 p 8) ‘Assessment should focus on whether reasonable adjustments can be made to enable a student to practice safely and effectively without supervision... demonstrating that they have met a competency or standard. The standard or competency itself is not subject to a reasonable adjustment. The development of reasonable adjustments needs to be creative, innovative and inclusive’. (NMC 2010 p9/10)

20. Remember that the strategies identified to support the students in their learning should be used in the initial placement period – i.e. the first few days/weeks. By the assessment point the students must be able to demonstrate competence safely and independently A mentor handbook for supporting students with disabilities can be accessed on the mentor website If you have any concerns contact the Zoned Academic Mentor and Programme Director and PPF

21. WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT A STUDENT

23. Placement concerns Procedure and guidance for students and staff Students are encouraged to not be afraid to question practice Where safe students need to raise the concern in practice Students will be supported through the process and kept informed at all stages

24. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

25. The Practice Mentor and Sign-off Mentor The Practice Mentor is an experienced qualified nurse on the appropriate part of the NMC Professional Register and the mentor database. Students are allocated to a Practice Mentor/Sign-off Mentor during each long period of practice learning. They are the primary support for the student in practice and will be available to the student for at least 40% of the student’s practice learning time. The Practice Mentor/Sign-off Mentor (as appropriate) will: Facilitate student learning. Supervise, support and guide students in practice. Assess the students achievement in practice using the practice competency benchmarks.

26. Supervisors for Spoke Placements As part of their practice learning experiences, students spend time with other members of the nursing, health and social care team, to facilitate enhanced understanding of inter- professional/inter-agency working and service user journeys. including: – registered nurses from different fields of practice – registered midwives, and – teachers when working in schools and educational establishments – Social workers and Occupational therapists Practitioners in these roles will be classed as supervisors The student’s learning journey is overseen by the practice and Academic Mentor. Supervisors cannot assess students.
