Welcome to the first edi�on of Professional Focus.

This newsle�er is dedicated to Clinical Educa�on, why it is important, how

we support it and what that means for our future workforce

On 10th October, Tracey Hilton and

Nira Varsani represented the Clinical

Educa�on Team at the Wes�ields Job

show in Shepherds Bush

This was an opportunity to speak to

the public about what services we

offer, inform them on how they can

embark on a professional career and

let them know what opportuni�es are

currently available.

It was great to engage with the public

and gain feedback from them.

We also managed to raise our team

profile whilst networking with other

colleagues and Organisa�ons.

Overall, it was a very successful event.

The Clinical Educa�on team currently manages a live Mentor Register which

is located on our intranet site:

h/p://srv-intranet/NonClinicalServices/CEP/Lists/Mentor%20Register/

AllItems.aspx

It is important that you let us know if your record is up to date or if you

need to be added / removed from the register.

If this is the case, Please contact someone from the placements team

‘It would appear that student expecta�ons and a9-

tudes, personal characteris�cs and behaviour, are all

fundamentally important in ensuring a posi�ve learn-

ing experience. Although it is generally assumed that

the mentor must take responsibility for leading the

learning experience (NMC 2008), it is a two-way pro-

cess and, as such, we need to prepare students for

placements by enhancing their skills in the following

areas:

• emo�onal resilience

• interpersonal skills / communica�on

• personal agency.

They also require knowledge of their curriculum, learn-

ing outcomes, assessment strategies, and an under-

standing of the importance of iden�fying specific place-

ment learning opportuni�es, prior to star�ng a place-

ment.

The responsibility for shaping the placement experi-

ence does not lie solely with the mentor. Students,

therefore, need to be appropriately prepared for place-

ments, as outlined above, if they are to maximise the

available learning opportuni�es’

Anne Corrin, Senior Lecturer, University of Essex

Jenni Middleton, editor of the Nursing Times, said of the NHS:

"Students tell us over and over again that their placement is one of the most important aspects of their training. A posi�ve

placement experience will not only teach good prac�ce but will also coach students in how to develop rela�onships with their

peers and pa�ents. Student nurses o)en approach their placements with a certain amount of trepida�on, but our finalists

have created

cultures that are suppor�ve, caring and empathe�c – the best environments in which to nurture the next genera�on of nurs-

ing

talent. We applaud their posi�vity, enthusiasm and wisdom."

Placements Facilitator

The Placements team are

pleased to announce that we

can now offer our

pre-registra�on students a

learning opportunity within the

Prison.

We are very excited to welcome

them on board!

CLCH / Kings College Pilot Project

Aim

To develop, implement and evaluate a placement circuit for BSc adult nursing stu-

dents which successfully prepares them for registra�on, whilst emphasising out of

hospital clinical placements.

Proposal

This proposal is based on a partnership between the School, CLCH (the HENWL prima-

ry care placement provider) and C&W (one of the HENWL secondary care providers).

Together, the partners seek to achieve a placement learning experience for five Year

1 BSc adult nursing students, for the dura�on of their programme that focuses pri-

marily on out of hospital care whilst s�ll enabling all NMC competencies to be met to

the level expected of all King’s students . CLCH will be the students’ principal place-

ment organisa�on. The inten�on is that the students who undertake the pilot will join

the CLCH Registered Nurse workforce on successful programme comple�on. This pro-

posal has the support of the Chief Nurses of both healthcare organisa�ons and has

been formulated in direct response to the addi�onal five HENWL commissions of

which the School was informed in December 2013.

Support

Students will be allocated to a CLCH link lecturer as a personal tutor. This will ensure

that the personal tutors of this group have a strong primary care orienta�on. The stu-

dents will also be provided with ‘personal mentorship’ from the Deputy Chief Nurse

from CLCH, Anthony Pritchard, or an equivalent. This will provide the students will

access to an experienced senior clinician in the placement who will oversee their de-

velopment for the dura�on of the programme and provide support towards their am-

bi�on of becoming a primary care nurse

NMC outcomes

Detailed placement mapping will be undertaken so that the CLCH placement circuit

will provide students with exposure to placement experiences that fulfil NMC pro-

gression point competency outcomes. At least two-thirds (minimum of six place-

ments) of the nine placement experiences during the programme will be in ‘out of

hospital’ placement experiences, including walk-in centres, district nursing, general

prac�ce, care home, hospice care. Students will also be provided with 2-3 secondary

care placements, with one of these in the first year of the programme, and a further

placement in a Level 3 care facility

The CLCH Con�nuous Improve-

ment Programme is an intensive

training and development

programme designed to equip

staff, at all levels, with the basic

skills and knowledge to make

effec�ve improvements to

services and to tackle complex

problems.

Health Visitor Implementa!on Plan – Clinical Prac!ce Placements

The HV Implementa�on Plan (DoH, 2011) had an ambi�ous target to recruit 4200 by March 2015. We have

been consistently successful suppor�ng this by mee�ng our local target to increase the number of student

placement. In 2013/14 we trained 37 health visitors, more than a 50% increase on previous years.

This would not have been made possible without the support of dedicated and commi/ed prac�ce

teachers, experienced mentors and Prac�ce Educators who were instrumental in working closely with staff

and higher Educa�on Ins�tutes to ensure safe, high quality clinical placements were provided.

The Prac�ce Educators used their exper�se, high level knowledge and clinical skills to support the develop-

ment and implementa�on of a number of important ini�a�ves including student forums aimed at

suppor�ng student is prac�ce; mentor educa�on supervision; Prac�ce teacher Forums and triennial

reviews.

Consequently 100% of our full �me Sept 2014 health visitor students were successful in comple�ng their

SCPHN training and almost 80% have been successfully appointed to a health visitor role.

We would like to say huge congratula�ons and welcome them to CLCH as newly qualified health visitors.

WELL DONE!
