Signature of Student:

I have discussed this statement with the student

Signature of Personal Tutor:

Protecting the public through professional standards: Accepting appropriate responsibility There may be times when you are in a position where you may not be directly supervised by your mentor, supervisor or another registered professional. As your skills, experience and confidence develop, you will become increasingly able to deal with this situation. However, throughout all clinical placements you must only participate in care interventions for which you have been fully prepared or in which you are appropriately supervised, and which are in keeping with Trust/Practice policy.

If you have any doubts, discuss them as quickly as possible with your mentor,

clinical practice facilitator or an academic lecturer.

I have read and understood the above statement

Signature of Personal Tutor

Access to information about progression in practice The NMC (2008) stipulates that Mentors must have the opportunity to review your

previous practice achievements, experiences and learning. It is your responsibility to

keep this document safe, to take to each of your clinical placements and make it

available to your mentors.

Consent statement I consent to allow the sharing of confidential data about me between successive

mentors and with the relevant representatives of the Department of Nursing Studies

at UCS with regard to the assessment of my fitness for practice.

I understand that this is an NMC (2008) requirement and that it is essential to my

programme of study leading to registration with the NMC.

Guidelines for students raising and escalating concerns in practice Introduction Students are subject to a variety of practice experiences and placements both within the

community, and acute trust settings. This is a guide for students who may witness clinical

practices in any of those environments, causing them concern. It gives the student a

process to raise that concern appropriately, and to escalate if they feel it is required. The

underlying principle is to safeguard the public. The following principles also apply;

Principles.

1. These guidelines are to be applied giving patient/carer and student safety as a

priority.

2. These guidelines are to be applied whenever, and however, there is a reasonable

belief that practice placement is not, compliant with NMC Standards.

3. These guidelines are to be employed in keeping with best education practice being

mindful of NMC Guidance on Escalating Concerns.

4. All persons involved should feel able to express their honest understanding of any

given situation without reserve.

Application.

These guidelines and based upon the NMC “Raising and Escalating Concerns: Guidance for

Nurses and Midwives” (NMC, 2015) and are to be applied when any reasonable concern

exists. The specifically relate to, and are aimed at students of nursing and midwifery who

may wish to raise or escalate a concern regarding clinical practice. They are to be used in

conjunction with any local placement policies relating to safeguarding, or whistle blowing.

The following are examples to establish an appropriate mental set only, to be considered if

the issue cannot be resolved when first raised. An expectation is that any person or authority

involved will exercise professional judgment at the time and in a proportional manner.

Immediate actions should be determined by the principles identified above. Examples of

situations where these guidelines may apply;

- A concern is raised as a consequence of a complaint made by a patient, their carer

or a student to any person or authority about the standard of care delivered within a

placement

- An internal or external governance process or agency raises a concern about the

standard of care within a placement.

- The placement is not compliant with any aspect of NMC standards for placement

learning

Student guidance: Your role in raising concerns

As a student of Nursing or Midwifery, whilst not on the NMC register, you have a duty of care

to safeguard the public and report any concerns from practice placements which put the

safety of the people in your care or the public at risk. As outlined in the NMC (2015)

guidance on raising and escalating concerns, the expectation is;

• Action must be taken without delay if you believe that you, a colleague or anyone

else may be putting someone at risk

• You must inform someone in authority if you experience problems that prevent care

delivery from meeting standards

• Speaking up on behalf of people in your care and clients is an everyday part of your

role, and just as raising genuine concerns represents good practice, ‘doing nothing’

and failing to report concerns is unacceptable. Whilst it is often daunting to raise

concerns, you should feel you can do so without prejudice, and with the support of

both practice and academic staff.

Student guidance: Procedure for raising and escalating concerns If you have a concern about anything you have witnessed in practice it is recommended that

you raise this first and foremost with your mentor. In conjunction, you should inform your

personal tutor so that they can guide and support you through the process. If you feel that

your concern has not been recognized or appropriately acted upon, you have the right to

escalate this concern to the appropriate staff. As a student there are a number of people

available to you. You can again speak with your personal tutor, or a member of the

academic team, who can advocate for and support you. In addition, if you feel comfortable

you should raise your concern with the clinical manager of your placement area. If you are

in an acute trust, there are Clinical Practice Facilitators (CPFs) who can also support this

process. In other clinical areas Link Lecturers and/or Clinical Learning Environment

Coordinators are available. If you are concerned at any point about who to approach, please

speak to a member of academic staff. Your concerns should be addressed through the

appropriate policies for the individual clinical area and the academic staff should be included

in all steps of the process. The role of the academic staff is to support you in raising your

concerns, escalating if required, supporting you in the process of any outcome (such as

investigation, or provision of statements) and to assist the feedback to you to ensure

resolution of your concern, at whichever level it has been escalated to. In some instances,

concerns may be escalated from the clinical areas, to the appropriate professional bodies

and you may be required to support this process. You will be supported by the academic

staff and we always ask that if a student raises a concern, that they do not submit any form

of statement, either written or verbal, without the presence of an appropriate member of

academic staff.

Student guidance: Flow chart to summarise the process Reference Nursing and Midwifery Council (2015) Raising concerns: Guidance for nurses and midwives. [Online]. Available at: http://www.nmc.org.uk/globalassets/siteDocuments/NMC-Publications/NMC-Raising-and-escalating-concerns.pdf

CONCERNED? Examples; standards of

care, conduct of a member of staff, safety

Raise your concern firstly by speaking to your mentor

IS YOUR CONCERN RESOLVED? YES; No further action but it is

recommended that you discuss with your personal tutor to debrief

NO; Escalate your concern to the clinical manager and CPF/Link

Lecturer/Convenor Remember to include the academic staff

for support. IS YOUR CONCERN RESOLVED?

YES; No further action but it is recommended that you discuss with

your personal tutor to debrief

NO; It is rare that a concern is not addressed at this stage however if you feel that this is the case, speak to the

CPF/Link Lecturer and academic staff who can support you in raising concerns further if required

Simulated Practice Learning (SPL): Preparation for Practice Experience The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2007; 2010) recognise that simulated practice learning within a simulation environment can enhance a student’s acquisition of direct care skills. Throughout your pre-registration programme clinical skills sessions have been identified as simulated practice learning. These sessions aim to introduce you to specific care and delivery which you can enhance and develop when out in practice.

• Attendances for these sessions need to be recorded and confirmed. • A Simulated Practice Learning Evaluation & Feedback (SPLEF) sheet needs to be

completed which should then be used in discussion with your mentor to help guide and develop direct care experiences within clinical practice placements.

Guidance for mentors and students The aim of SPL is to develop the student’s professional practice skills and build confidence within a safe environment, which can then help to support direct care given in clinical practice. During the SPL skills sessions the students will undertake scenario based learning opportunities that will incorporate a range of clinical and communication skills outlined through session aims and objectives which reflect the Essential Skills Clusters (NMC, 2010). There will be an opportunity for peer and facilitator feedback as well as personal reflection from the student before, during and after each session. The completed SPLEF sheets are to be utilised, through discussion between mentor and student, to help guide related learning objectives and action plans when in the practice placement as well as supporting any direct care the student is involved in.
