6. Listening to our stakeholders – Key thoughts so far….
Future pre-registration programmes will prepare students for supervisor role We need suitably prepared practice supervisors and assessors (eLearning module/s, time commitment, linked to appraisal & revalidation) Challenges of - lone practitioners as supervisors - practice assessors and 'sufficient opportunity'/direct observation/ time out from practice for role/ensuring interrater reliability of assessment Need guiding principles for assessors and any framework developed should have guidance not rigidity Keep robust systems that support the management of the underperforming student.
