Supervising and Assessing Specialist Community Practice

Why study this subject?

The University is well positioned to deliver this module as it has strong and established relationships with Trusts in London, the Thames Valley and beyond.

The aim of this course is to enable Specialist Practitioners to develop the knowledge, skills and values to supervise and assess students working at an advanced level of practice.

The course will be delivered via 4 online workshops delivered in the first term. You will then follow a SCPHN or SPQ student throughout the year which will enable you to develop the skills to effectively lead and manage an educational process in line with the teaching and learning strategy, as determined by a professional curriculum.

You will also gain the knowledge and understanding to effectively assess students at the end of their programme of study, which leads to either registration or a recordable qualification with the NMC (or other professional body).

This programme will also include responsibility for positively influencing the development of the educational environment with a focus on the promotion of interprofessional learning.
