  9. What is a CLET? • CLET stands for Clinical Learning Environment Team • There are over 20 CLETs covering all the placement areas and specialisms • It is a working group aiming to improve the quality of learning on placements • You may be invited and should attend-you are very welcome

  11. On arrival/expectations • What do you expect of placement and what do they expect of you? • Learning contract-your responsibility • Action plans from previous placements ? • Supernumerary status/team member • Professional conduct • Confidentiality • Induction/ orientation in some placements • Remember your PLAD • Initial interview (within 72hours) • Identify mentor and support mentors • 40% contact with mentor • Arrange regular contact discussions with mentor

  12. Assessment process- initial • Initial interview (within 72hours) • Learning contract/ development plan from previous placement • Level three critical analysis Gopee, N. 2002. Demonstrate critical analysis in academic assignments. Nursing Standard. 16, 35 pp 45-52 • PLAD • Practice portfolio • Plan mid-way and final assessment dates

  13. Assessment process- mid way • Mid-way point for assessment • Time to seek support, confirm level of achievement • Review learning contract and assess achievement • Time to reflect if meeting level three competencies and implement action plan for achievement • Arrange final assessment date- esp. important if final placement • Enquire grade at mid-way to assess your performance

  14. Assessment process-final • PLAD to be completed by self and mentor • Grade awarded • Skills completed in PLAD • Timesheets completed correctly • Time to reflect on placement with mentor If final placement: • Portfolio completed for registration process (encourage) • Verification of Competencies (completed) • Cleanliness Champion must be completed These are your own responsibilities, not that of your mentor If any issues-contact the PEF or the PEL for the area

  15. Cause for Concern from student • At any point during your placement there may be something that doesn’t seem right to you • Opportunity to speak informally first • Initiate a cause for concern immediately if needed • Seek support from practice team • See web page http://www.rgu.ac.uk/nursing/practice/page.cfm?pge=40911

  16. Cause for concern from Mentor • A mentor may raise a cause for concern about a student’s performance • This is to enable further support to help you successfully complete the placement • This is NOT a negative process but should be positive and supportive • See web page; http://www.rgu.ac.uk/nursing/practice/page.cfm?pge=40911

  17. Community is a necessity • To qualify as a nurse in the UK you must achieve your competencies in the community as well as in a hospital setting. • If community is not your area of interest you must work hard to enable your mentor to see that you are capable of achieving well. • Pathway learning opportunities are integral part of learning in some stage three placements • Business user insurance and Mileage pre-approval form from student centre door must be completed before placement, not after.... • It is up to your mentor to decide if you are capable of managing a mini caseload

  18. Achievement of Stage three competencies (PLAD) • Competencies in stage 3 must be achieved for each placement (normally all in NU3913, NU3917, NU3918) • Developing Proficiency in Practice (NU3913, NU3917, NU3918) must receive a grade D or above before you can progress to module Proficient Practice (NU3920, NU3921, NU3922) • Proficient Practice must have their Verification of competencies signed • Discuss any N before end of final placement as this can be simulated NU393/3917/3918-due as per assessment schedule NU3920/3921/3922-due as per assessment schedule

  19. Night Duty • You need to experience the 24 hour and seven days a week delivery of care • You will be guided as to how best to achieve this • You may follow your mentor on to a night shift rota

  20. Part-Time Work • Any part time work that you have must not interfere with your ability to satisfy working alongside your mentor and shift patterns which are allocated • Please refer to the Bank & Bursary Policy for Grampian on the web page; http://www.rgu.ac.uk/nursing/practice/page.cfm?pge=40911

  21. Skills • PLADs are important documents which tell the mentor that you have practised skills in the skills centre and need to practice with real patients • You may need to simulate skills if not available. Any issues with this contact the PEF or PEL for assistance • All ESCs must have a N or A, date and signature • Take the PLAD with you, leave them on placement while you are there, so they can be completed as and when skill opportunities arise.

  22. Evaluation • You are still expected to complete an online evaluation form following your placement. Local evaluations are not RGU evaluations thus we cannot change things if we are unaware... • Evaluations are important for improving placement learning for future students • It is an opportunity for you to say what went well and what didn’t go well • Contact your student support network with any issues such as the Staff Student liaison committee

  23. This session has helped me prepare for my stage three placements • Strongly agree • Agree • Disagree • Strongly disagree

  24. Good Luck! Any Questions? NB. You now have the group work session to ask questions about travel, etc and the personal tutor sessions/meetings to work on your learning outcomes, etc. Please go to the video conferencing room now if you are going to Orkney and Shetland at any point this year
