How it works
We have recruited to a band 6 Practice Education Facilitator. This role is currently a 10-month secondment. The post holder works flexibly, visiting wards and departments to meet with assessors, supervisors and learners. While undertaking these visits the PEF can:
· monitor completion of the online Practice Assessment Document (PAD)
· review progress of students against their proficiencies
· support identification of learning opportunities and development of action plans
· provide advice and support for learners who have reasonable adjustment plans
· communicate and remind leaners of upcoming workshops and skills sessions
· work 1:1 alongside a student in the clinical environment when additional support is required, or a particular assessment is to be undertaken
Sustainability
We plan to utilise an increase in placement tariff funding to continue to fund the role beyond the initial project period.
Next steps
We will be rolling out of the additional resources/materials and undertaking a review of their effectiveness. We will be encouraging learners to complete evaluations to facilitate further analysis of impact.
We will be engaging assessors, ward managers and senior managers in an evaluation of the new ward-based PEF role to inform how the role is developed further.
