Recording a Learning Event – Evidence for Domain 3
Adapted from NHS Education for Scotland Effective Practitioner Website
Description of Learning Event
Mentor upskill session on 22.06.13 – Assessment in Practice
Key Learning Points
We examined how assessment is carried out and how to assess effectively
There were scenarios around assessment which we worked through as a group
Future Learning and Development Needs
I have since downloaded the student placement books – the Competency Booklet and
the Ongoing Achievement Record to ensure I am familiar with the books.
Ensure I take the time to complete the interim and final assessments thoroughly
Action Plan
Liase with PEF and other mentors around assessment
To look at the learning outcomes for each placement we support and discussed within
the nursing team how the student could evidence competence in these learning
outcomes
