  4. Aim: To Target the three crucial gaps identified in the 5 Year Forward View

  5. Health and Wellbeing: Without a greater focus upon prevention, health inequalities will widen and our capacity to pay for new treatments will be compromised by the need to spend billions of pounds on avoidable illness Care and Quality: Health needs will go unmet unless we reshape care, harness technology and address variations in quality and safety Funding and Efficiency: Without efficiencies, a shortage of resources will hinder care services and progress

  6. Nursing and Midwifery’s Crucial Role in Closing the Gaps: Closing the health and wellbeing gap: Practising in ways which prevent avoidable illness, protect health and promote well-being and resilience Closing the care and quality gap: Practising in ways which provide safe evidence-based care which maximises choice for patients Closing the funding and efficiency gap: Practising in ways which manage resources well including time, equipment and referrals Triple Aim: Better outcomes Better Experience Better use of resources

  9. Supporting students with disabilities

  10. 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)

  11. 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

  12. What to do if you have concerns about a student

  13. Placement concerns • Procedure and guidance for students and staff • Students are encouraged to not be afraid to question remember the 6Cs • Where safe students need to raise the concern in practice • Students will be supported through the process and kept informed at all stages
