Principles of our new standards for student supervision and assessment Potential benefits • Separate supervision and assessment roles to: • Increase consistency in assessment judgments • Avoid ‘failing to fail’ situations • Improve interprofessional working • Enhance joint working between AEIs and practice placement partners • Supporting students becomes every NMC registrant’s responsibility (it’s in the Code) • Everyone will have an input to assessment

Standards for student supervision and assessment Three headings • Effective practice learning • Supervision of students • Assessment of students and confirmation of proficiency

Effective practice learning • The student level • The programme • The route • Learning opportunities • New models of supervision & assessment • Empower and meet student expectations • Delegation of care interventions • Learn in a safe & effective way Learning Environment Delegation New roles: • Practice supervisor • Practice assessor Supervision Public safety

Practice supervision • In practice, students are supervised by an NMC registered nurse or midwife, or another registered health and social care professionals, who: • • • uphold public protection provide inclusive, tailored learning experiences give feedback contribute to decisions on assessment and progression raise concerns where necessary. • Practice supervision ensures safe and effective learning experiences. • There is sufficient coordination and continuity of support and supervision of students.

Assessor roles All students are assigned to: • a practice assessor for a practice placement or a series of practice placements • an academic assessor for each part of the education programme. The assessors are: • registered nurses or midwives with appropriate equivalent experience for the student’s field of practice.

Practice assessors • Conduct assessments to confirm that the student has achieved the proficiencies and outcomes. • • assessment decisions are informed by feedback from practice supervisors Work in partnership with the academic assessor regarding student progression. • periodically observe the student across environments to inform decisions • have an understanding of student’s learning and achievement in theory.

Academic assessors • Conduct assessments to confirm that the student has achieved the proficiencies and outcomes. • • assessment decisions are informed by feedback from practice supervisors Work in partnership with the practice assessor regarding student progression. • Communication and collaboration is scheduled for relevant points in the programme

Considerations • Need for effective partnerships between AEIs and practice placement partners • Introduction of new roles • • What supervision and assessment model will work in your practice placements? • Who are your supervisors and assessors? Impact of the new standards on all registrants • Awareness of the new roles for supervision and assessment • Awareness of the standards of proficiency for registered nurses and prescribers • Consider their own development requirements in line with the new proficiencies and scope of practice • Plan their CPD accordingly in preparation for revalidation
