Practice assessment is a required element of healthcare programmes. The role of the practice assessor is complex as you are responsible for confirming achievement, ensuring that the assessment is fair, valid, and reliable. Following the practice supervisor day, this interprofessional study day clarifies the role of the practice assessor (NMC 2018; HCPC 2017). This is an interactive day so come prepared to share your knowledge and experience.
What will you gain from the day?
Although this programme is provided by Bournemouth University and will reference the programmes we offer, the content of the day can readily be applied to the supervision and assessment of all learners.
This course is available to all health and social care registrants working in placement areas within the Bournemouth University placement areas. It is relevant for all practitioners supporting learners in the workplace. Please note that you must have completed the Practice Supervisor day prior to attending the Practice Assessor day.
You will need access to a PC as the day is a combination of self-managed learning and a seminar delivered using Teams. Your joining instructions will contain all the information you need for the day, it is a good idea to check your spam/junk folders and add @bournemouth.ac.uk to your safe sender list, to ensure you receive all emails from BU.
