1 Pre registration nursing with the Open University Completing your portfolio for KYN7 1

2 Guidance for portfolio completion The slides that follow illustrate the expectations for completion for each section of the portfolio This slide show will be available to refer to again, in the KYN7 resources section of the module website If you have queries about completing your portfolio, contact your Practice Tutor

3 Make sure you fill in your first and last names and your OU PI Robert Benson X011

4 Have you signed and dated your declaration? If not, do it now!

5 You need an induction sheet for each of the four practice periods in Stage. Your mentors should induct you to each area when you start in practice and you both sign and date to confirm that this has been completed.

6 When you submit your portfolio you only submit those pages labelled Essential Information Fill out all sections of this page, fully, before you take your portfolio into practice. This will increase the likelihood of it being returned to you, should you misplace it.

7 Robert Benson X011 Helen Kirk HK Helen Kirk 4/11/15 Alison Brown AB 4/11/15 Sian Jones SJ S Jones 19/01/16 Paul Hilliam PH Paul Hilliam 1/06/16 Your practice tutor, your mentor(s) in your core practice base and your mentors in your contrasting experiences must complete the signature verification record. In addition, if your mentor requests another healthcare practitioner to assess you for a specific skill in the portfolio, this individual will sign off that skill and must therefore also complete the signature verification record as an other signatory.

8 Do not complete until the end of the module. You must tick to declare your physical health, mental health & character. Robert Benson X011 R01 Robert Benson 1/0/17

9 You must achieve all the skills at Bondy Level. If your mentors judge that there are skills that you have achieved at Bondy Level 4 this can be recorded in the portfolio.

10 Here are the criteria for Bondy Level 4, which may be achieved for Stage skills.

11 Before student and mentor meet for the initial review, the student self assesses abilities against the Bondy criteria and decides whether for each skill Bondy level or or NYA, not yet achieved applies. The mentor will judge whether or not level is achieved. Robert Benson X011 NYA NYA AB 4/11/15 4/11/15 There are still 4 skills to achieve at Bondy level, so the overall competence is at level.

12 During practice period, the student achieves one more skill. Robert Benson X011 NYA AB 4/11/15 SJ 10/0/16 NYA 4/11/15 The mid review meeting will not take place until practice period, so the Mid review of competency box remains blank at the end of practice period.

13 During practice period, the student achieves two more skills. Robert Benson X011 NYA NYA AB 4/11/15 PH 19/07/16 SJ 10/0/16 PH 05/08/16 4/11/15 Paul Hilliam /08/16 At the mid review meeting one skill remains to be achieved, so the overarching competency remains achieved at Bondy level.

14 During practice period 4, the student achieves the remaining skill. Robert Benson X011 NYA NYA AB 4/11/15 4/11/15 At the final assessment meeting the mentor is able to confirm that the competency has been achieved at Bondy level. PH 19/07/16 SJ 10/0/16 PH 05/08/16 Paul Hilliam /08/16 AB 18/1/16 7/0/17

15 Robert Benson X011 Sometime competence statements and skills do not all fit on one page. This is an example. Signing off the skills is undertaken as previously explained. The row for signing off the overarching competence at the three review meetings is located on the following page.

16 Robert Benson X011 Skill numbering on this page starts at iii. This indicates skills i. and ii. are on the previous page. The mentor must check these before determining the level of competence achieved.

17 Robert Benson X011 4/11/15 Paul Hilliam /08/16 The number of field specific competencies is different for the two fields. There are 40 for mental health and 7 for adult nursing. Achievement of a competency can be signed off at any time during practice periods 1, or.

18 Robert Benson X011 7/0/17 4/11/15 7/0/17 Paul Hilliam /08/16 7/0/17 However, at the final assessment meeting the mentor must confirm that all field specific competencies have been achieved or sustained at Bondy level.

19 Robert Benson X011 7/0/17 7/0/17 At the time of the final assessment meeting, the core practice base mentor must also complete this form. If all skills and field specific competencies have been achieved, the mentor circles yes and signs and dates the form.

20 Robert Benson X011 7/0/17 4/11/15 7/0/17 Paul Hilliam /08/16 7/0/17 However, at the final assessment meeting, supposing one or more skills or field specific competencies is not achieved. At the final assessment meeting the mentor confirms that the outcome for the overall competence is still Bondy level.

21 Robert Benson X011 7/0/17 7/0/17 At the time of the final assessment meeting, the core practice base mentor must still complete this form. This time No is circled. The student still has time to work towards achieving the outstanding skill and field specific competency before submission.

22 During practice period 4, the student achieves the remaining skill. Robert Benson X011 NYA NYA AB 4/11/15 4/11/15 PH 19/07/16 SJ 10/0/16 PH 05/08/16 Paul Hilliam /08/16 AB 0/0/17 7/0/17 0/0/17 Following a further review of the skill the mentor is able to confirm that it has been achieved at Bondy level. The overarching competence must be re signed at level.

23 Robert Benson X011 7/0/17 4/11/15 7/0/17 Paul Hilliam /08/16 7/0/17 0/0/17 Similarly the field specific competency should be reviewed and, if achieved, signed off at Bondy level.

24 Robert Benson X011 7/0/17 0/0/17 7/0/17 0/0/17 The core practice base mentor must update this form. This time Yes is circled in red ink and the entries are re signed and re dated, also in red ink.

25 As students progress through their practice experiences, tick off the experiences gained.

26 /08/16 Robert Benson X011 Helen Kirk /08/16 Helen Kirk /08/16 Students must gain experience in all those types of experience that are marked by an asterisk. The PT will sign and date experiences gained at the three review meetings.

27 Do not forget to enter the total hours completed. Robert Benson X Robert Benson Robert Benson 19/08/16 Alison Brown District nurse 7/0/17 If there are still practice hours to complete at the time of the final assessment meeting this form can be completed after the meeting, but must be done before submission.

28 Robert Benson X011 Enjoy learning Confident in practice CAMHS Relating neurophysiology to nursing practice Have only observed medicines administration so far Medicines administration Law and MH nursing When you start each practice learning period discuss these four areas with your mentor, agree what you are going to focus on and fill out the form.

29 After your initial review meeting, make a plan to support your learning needs Robert Benson X011

30 At this stage your mentor is likely to offer an overview of your progress to date. Robert Benson X011 Your mentor should comment on the areas listed below: practice performance: e.g. generally confident in practice professional behaviour: e.g. increasing awareness of professional boundaries perceived professional attitudes: e.g. keen to work as a team player attendance record: e.g. excellent, no sickness or absence to date punctuality record: e.g. is always ready to start at the required time professional appearance: e.g. usually neat and tidy, reminded to clean shoes Alison Brown 4/11/15 The same set of forms is provided to record details of the mid review meeting

31 Robert Benson X011 The action plan from the final assessment meeting should be developed in order to take you forward into Stage

32 At this stage your mentor should have a good insight into your progress during the module. Robert Benson X011 Your mentor should comment on the areas listed below: practice performance: e.g. much more confident now as a nursing student professional behaviour: e.g. encourage to seek support if needed perceived professional attitudes: e.g. working well within the MDT attendance record: e.g. excellent, no sickness or absence punctuality record: e.g. is always prompt and reliable professional appearance: e.g. always well presented Two Stage skills and 1 field specific competence yet to be achieved at Bondy level. Alison Brown 7/0/17

33 Robert Benson X011 Your practice tutor will make comments here about your overall performance and progress during KYN7. This will include comments about your diligence in submitting your monthly record of hours forms, your practice learning evaluations and producing portfolio evidence to demonstrate your underpinning knowledge of practice related skills.

34 Robert Benson X011 This form can be used at any time during the module, by any mentor, to provide feedback about a particular aspect of a student s practice. This may be to comment on excellence in performance e.g. because a student has dealt effectively with a complex issue, or to highlight a concern about progress and to indicate the support that will be put in place to address the concern. Students should always have spare copies of this form available in their portfolios.

35 Robert Benson X011 There may not be sufficient space on the action plan that is completed after each review meeting to identify all the learning needs. This additional action plan can be used to supplement the post meeting action plans. It may also be the case that during a practice period the student achieves all the learning needs set on their action plan, and therefore needs to develop a further action plan to identify other learning needs to be achieved.

36 This form is completed by the student, mentor and practice tutor to confirm participation in each of the three formal meetings. Robert Benson X011 This space is used if an additional meeting takes place after final assessment meeting.

37 Record of student hours forms must be completed every month: Oct. 015 Mar. 017 Robert Benson XX team north X011 District nursing team October 015 Enter the hours for the shift and the actual hours worked excluding breaks. In the example the shift lasts for 1 hours, but hours worked are 11 as there is a one hour break. If the mentor is available to supervise the student that day, the mentor should sign. If not, then another registered nurse should sign. The form must be completed on the date that the shift is undertaken. 07:0 19:0 11 hours Robert Benson Robert Benson Pam Smythe 07:0 19:0 11 hours There is a form for 15 th 1 st of any month, but it is not included in this presentation.

38 Robert Benson X011 October At the end of the month, add up the number of nursing student hours that have been completed. In this instance it is hours. There is no sickness or annual leave taken. Robert Benson Once complete scan and the pages for October to the practice tutor.

39 Robert Benson X011 Summary account 1.1 iv; 1.. i; 1.4.i; 1.4 ii Evidence added to the portfolio is numbered sequentially. The number of the piece of evidence should be included on the piece of evidence itself.

40 Mentors should set calculations for students to complete. Actual examples from practice are particularly relevant.

41 Robert Benson X011 Mentors should seek feedback from at least two service users regarding a student s performance, preferably one from practice period and one from practice period. Discuss the student s performance with the service user, then complete the form.
