  4. Hot off the Press: GENERAL New NHS funding: • Local Education and Training Boards (LETB) replace Strategic Health Authority (SHA). • Focused health education funding including ‘benchmark price’ to both University and Trust, who will both have to meet key performance indicators. • Trusts have greater influence on commissioning (eg: student numbers, CPD courses).

  5. New structure of Placement Development Team (PDT): • Trusts divided into 4 regions: Somerset, North and East Devon, South and West Devon, Cornwall • Each region has a PDT comprising an Academic Lead, and a Practice lead will continue to head up the team in each Trust • Supported by an Academic team from all professions • Midwifery link lecturers remain as before and are your main point of contact

  6. New link to POPPI and updated site: • Link: http://www1.plymouth.ac.uk/placements/poppi/Pages/default.aspx • Accessing information (see next slides):

  11. Hot off the Press: MIDWIFERY New 2013 curriculum: • 55% Practice: 45% Theory • Merged modules and removal of all 10-credit modules • Reduction to 5 modules per year • Meaningful inter-professional learning • Midwifery-specific modules in year 1 • Earlier practice placement in year 1 (December) • New year 3 modules – theory related to Newborn and Infant Examination and approved module for Mentorship • New version practice e-portfolio (Pebblepad) – more individualised; increased evidence for sign-off mentors to use in assessment

  12. New format of MAP (both curricula): • Mentor Assessment of Practice (MAP) document format modified in response to feedback. • Exactly the same wording and principles, but more user-friendly. • Merging of similar statements resulting in reduced writing for sign-off mentors. • Initials by sign-off/ designated buddy mentors. • Remember that only the sign-off mentor can confirm achievement/ non-achievement in overall comment and award grade. (Full guidelines and example of new format available as handout in addition to next screen)

  13. Example of new MAP format CRITERION 8 Risk Assessment and Management Skills (Year Two)

  14. New timesheets: • Reminder about youraccountability when completing timesheets, as for any documentation • Only sign for the hours you know the student has worked (ie: under your direct/ indirect supervision) • All initials/ signatures also in front of OAR • Any amendments altered as for any records (strike-through, initial, date) • Sign-off mentor verifies all entries as accurate as well as total hours worked that month

  15. New guidance for all staff supporting Midwifery students: • Fliers have been distributed highlighting key issues for ALL staff supporting midwifery students (midwives, other registered health professionals, non-registrants eg MSW/MUA/MCA) • See following slide for details regarding: - Supervision - Records - Timesheets - Reports • Please ensure all staff working with your named student are aware of these important points.

  16. WORKSHOP DISCUSSION • Now is a good time to discuss some of these issues and any queries you may have. • Your link lecturer may also provide some scenarios to trigger further discussion.

  17. Ongoing Midwifery Aspects

  18. September 2008 curriculum: - continues for year 2 and 3 in 13/14 • Practice placements: - improved ‘staggering’ up to Easter due to earlier year 1 placement - continue predominantly maternity – acute and community/ integrated - continue non-maternity including Gynaecology, Neonatal Unit, ITU/ ICU, Emergency Department; seek ‘ad hoc’ medical/ surgical/ mental health experiences - continue autonomous study years 1&2, 4-week elective year 3

  19. Student midwife caseloading: - continues in both curricula - any questions? • Grading of practice: - continues in both curricula • triangulation of evidence from range of sources important • all mentor team to attend tripartite if possible • moderation by link lecturer at tripartite essential at summative point • any questions?

  20. Criteria for grading practice (BSc) PDT 2008/9

  21. Baby Friendly Initiative (BFI): • University ‘Certificate of Commitment’ and Stage 1 successful • Stage 2 (final stage for University Accreditation) anticipated summer 2014 • Investigations: - A reminder to seek University support for students involved in Trust investigations (disciplinary, SoM, case review, RCA) - Faculty ‘Fitness to Practise’ process rigorously followed as required – reflects NMC procedure; various penalties depending on severity

  22. WORKSHOP DISCUSSION:Some examples of FTP cases You may wish to discuss some of the key principles arising from the following: • Inappropriate use of social networking sites • Persistent non-attendance • Timesheet discrepancies • Complaints • Unsafe practice • Unprofessional behaviour • Breaching confidentiality • Breaching professional boundaries

  23. Mentorship Qualifications • Increased commission, but no Midwifery-specific in 13/14 • Full taught and APEL Mentorship modules at level 6 (degree) and level 7 (masters – only eligible if hold a degree). Also ‘Confirming Proficiency in Professional Practice’ • APEL screening now done by Education Co-ordinators in the Trust. Midwife must submit on-line application. Trust must submit on-line electronic nomination. • Summer Pre-registration Mentorship preparation – most qualifying Sept 09 and 10 students have completed this; APEL now needed plus 3X sign-off episodes (TBC if running in summer 2014) • New curriculum – will ‘grow our own’ by 2016

  24. Triennial Review • All buddy/ sign-off mentors to maintain ‘Record of Mentor/Practice Placement Educator Activity document (may also be known as ‘Mentor Passport’) • Keep record of learners supported, updates attended, sign-off episodes (if buddy), evidence from learners • Annual mentor update, 2 Midwifery students (pre-reg/ SoM/ RTMP) in 3 years to maintain status • Triennial review needed every 3 years (all sign-off mentors MUST have one this year if has been a sign-off mentor for 3 years and not had review yet)
