Learning Outcomes • DH Training Manual – 21 LOs • Some very broad eg 22 • We will condense into a sensible number and map to IRCP
Dates • Block 1 (summer between Y2&3) • 1st July 2013 – 27th Sept. 2013 (13 weeks) • Block 2 (all semester 2 of Y3) • 27th January 2014 – 6th June 2014 (19 weeks)
Allocations • Draft already- students know, placement centres do not • Use centres further afield – students are funding studies and less HEIs • Issues to do with accommodation • Same centre for both placements - student and centre feedback
Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme • Each semester - 60 CATS • Broken down as follows (15 CATS each) • IRCP (assesses clinical competence) • Portfolio (assesses “softer” skills, eg communication, reflection) • Professional Practice • Audiology in Practice
IRCP • Will need to map DH Los to existing IRCP • Will need to provide some explanatory notes about the mapping • Assessed as pass/fail • No mark (student is either competent or not) • Have to pass • How do we do this?
IRCP • How do we do this? • as now? • one visit or two or none? • local teams? • HEI needs to be involved given credit bearing • Idea of licence – no need to go out for first visit but do so if new or struggling centre? • Group 1 Facilitator Gary Farrell/Daniel Rowan
Portfolio • Have to pass • What should be in it? • Who assesses it? • HEI needs to be involved given credit bearing • Pass/fail or assign mark? • Problem with assigning mark • Group 2 Facilitator Jane Burgneay
Major problem • Somehow need to assign a mark to the placement year • Group 3 – facilitator Mark Lutman
Professional Practice/Audiology in Practice • Both will take form of extended essay/case study • Like previous individual projects • But assessed by HEI • Need half day study per week
Fitness to Practise • No longer “protected” by Portsmouth • Do not know how students will conduct themselves • Keep records of sick leave, punctuality, unauthorised absence • Be familiar with Fitness to Practise Policy • Any concerns, act early
Other issues • Statutory and Mandatory training • Carried out in year 1 • http://www.workforce.southcentral.nhs.uk/primary_areas/healthcare_workforce/widening_participation/scdl.aspx • CRB and OH • Honorary contracts • Time off?
