Module description

Preparation in the principles of supervision and feedback ensures that students are ready to act as practice supervisors and are ready to learn to become practice assessors at the point of registration. Students will consider approaches to clinical and practice supervision and how these contribute to the development of peers and learners. Students will have the opportunity to supervise and coach less experienced students in both practice and university-based/simulated setting (e.g. in Person-Centred Care 1 and selected other modules.)

Students will enhance and develop awareness of cultural competence, processes of constructive feedback, reflective appraisal and formative and summative assessment. They will be encouraged to develop approaches to coaching and supervision whilst considering how to challenge circumstances that impact upon the quality of a learning environment.

Module aims

This module enables students to develop proficiency in evidence-based approaches to coaching, supervision, feedback and assessment to support a range of learners in the clinical learning environment, as well as managing their own continuing

Module learning outcomes

3. Act as a role model for, and regularly seek constructive feedback on own performance from, others when providing nursing care, advocacy and support for people and colleagues.

4. Critically apply the principles and processes of making reasonable adjustments for learners, ensuring that adjustments comply with both legislative and professional regulatory requirements.

5. Monitor and evaluate the quality of care provided by others, and critically reflect upon the principles and application of processes used in performance development, performance review and performance management.
