2 Academic Staff from SNAM and SHP Visiting Guidelines to Practice The provision of accessible based Placement Development Teams (PDT) has enabled some refinement of the present system of visiting students and mentors/practice-clinical educators during practice placements. The role of the PDT is to support all learners and mentors within the placement setting. Led by an academic and clinical lead the PDT is supported by a number of academics and clinicians all who aim to support learners in practice. Each PDT will have a range of professionals contributing their expertise all who can refer an issue speedily to an appropriate individual. Personal and /or placement tutors are complementary to these roles. Suggested criteria for visits by academic tutors:- New placement *(1) Student with poor overall profile or retaking a placement Student with significant disability support requirements Visit requested from the mentor Visit requested from the student Visit requested by member of programme team or PDT Visit required by individual programmes/professional bodies Engaged in own professional practice *(1) If a new placement is being considered it should be assessed for its suitability and support for learners before an educational audit or WPA is set up by the PQDD team. The School of Nursing and Midwifery will support its practice areas through the PDT role with an identified lead Academic from November 2013, supported by a team of academics from all fields of Nursing and Midwifery. The School of Allied Professions will support its practice placements through the link lecture role and identified placement leads. Once placement allocation has occurred, the specific placement/programme team within the university will identify key areas and students who are more likely to require specific support using the criteria above. The appropriate personal/placement tutor will then contact the mentor and their student to arrange a visit at the most appropriate stage of the placement. Both the Academic and Clinical of the PDT will be informed of the arrangement. This will not be the case when visiting is routine (e.g. Midwifery tripartite at summative points and ad hoc see Appendix 1). Placement Visit Decision Making Process Each s Placement Development Team will support all learners within their area, but from November 2013 the academic team will focus on nursing students.

3 All students and mentors who do not get a visit from a personal tutor will receive at the minimum a phone call from one of the programme or placement development team during the placement to discuss the student s progress The following flowchart is designed to clarify who mentors should contact to request support whilst they have a student on placement.
