Mentoring in Practice Assessment -

Module Overview - All modules have an overview. This gives you an indication of the aim or purpose of the module, and its content. This module's overview is below.

This module prepares clinicians to develop the skills and knowledge to assess the total performance of pre-registration students including skills, attitudes and behaviours. It will also enable clinicians, in an autonomous manner, to organise and co-ordinate student learning activities in practice. The use of relevant work based learning under the supervision of a qualified mentor provides the opportunity to critically reflect on the educational experience.

Offered in E-Learning mode, it will provide the student mentor with a sound basis for this professional role.
