Practice Supervisor and Assessor Updates

The core areas that all SHU supervisor and assessor updates must include and which should be very clearly communicated are:

• Update with NMC professional standards
• Understand the students' programme
• Understand assessment process that occurs in practice
• Understand process to follow when a student is failing to progress
• Know how to access placement information websites for key information and SHU contacts
• Know how to access placement information websites for key information about support available to them in their role in supporting the students
• Know SHU placement learning policies are housed on the SHU placement learning websites and know processes for escalation of concerns, and
• The essential need for the placement provider to communicate with the university about any incidents or accidents or concerns.
