It must be submitted with the practice portfolio at the end of each of the modules.
This Skills Inventory is based upon the Department of Health Essence of Care Patient-
focused Benchmarks for Clinical Governance (DH 2003). In this regard, the Skills
Inventory serves two purposes, firstly the students’ practice learning is embedded within
the national benchmark framework for nursing and secondly it contributes directly to
enhancing best practice within all areas of care.
To achieve the Essence of Care Skills and to guide you in the learning, teaching and
assessment process, please refer to the Essence of Care Patient-focused Benchmarks for
Clinical Practice (DoH 2003) and your local policies and guidelines.
The Inventory is divided into two sections: Core Skills and Additional Skills.
In order to pass both modules, ALL CORE SKILLS MUST BE ACHIEVED
E
Shaded Core Skills must be achieved by the end of NRSDN1001.
Non-shaded Core Skills must be achieved by the end of NRSDN1002.
Even though you do not need to achieve the non-shaded skills until the end of
PL
NRSDN1002, you may have limited opportunity in the second half of the year in which all
non-shaded skills can be achieved. You must therefore make sure that you achieve as
many non-shaded skills as possible in the first half of the year.
The Additional Skills are skills which are important but which, depending on the areas you
are placed on, you may or may not have the opportunity to achieve. Obviously, if you get
the opportunity you should practice as many skills as possible, but you will still be able to
pass the modules even if you do not get a chance to achieve some or all of the Additional
AM
Skills.
All skills must be practiced in accordance with practice placement policies and guidelines
and performed under the supervision of a Qualified Practitioner following the standard
practice area risk assessment.
Refer to the Practice Area Code for which areas are best suited to achievement of
skills. Please ensure whilst allocated to those areas that you take the opportunity to
achieve the corresponding skills. Some skills MAY be achieved in other areas – please
ensure you take the opportunity on each placement as it arises to achieve as many skills
EX
as possible.
N.B. A MENTOR’S SIGNATURE DENOTES A SKILL HAS BEEN PRACTISED/
ACHIEVED.
THERE IS NO OPTION HERE FOR ‘NO OPPORTUNITY’ OR ‘NOT APPLICABLE’. IN
SUCH INSTANCES IT SHOULD BE LEFT BLANK.

MENTOR AND STUDENT GUIDANCE
For each placement, three documents are to be completed;
1. Learning Agreement, 2. Practice assessment document (PAD) and 3. Practice
Skills Inventory
Each is required to confirm achievement of modular outcomes, and should be discussed
with the student at an identified time, at the beginning of each placement, midway during
the placement, and towards completion of each placement.
Any outstanding learning outcomes, practice outcomes or clinical skills from a previous
placement area should be discussed and included as part of the learning agreement for
any ensuing placement.
MENTOR RESPONSIBILITIES
The following guidance is summarised from the NMC’s Standards to Support Learning and
Assessment in Practice (NMC 2006):
Students on NMC approved pre-registration nursing education programmes must be
E
supported and assessed by mentors. Nurse education requires mentors to provide the full
range of support and assessment required to meet the needs of pre-registration education.
The purpose of these standards is to assure the NMC that those who make the
judgements of students have been appropriately prepared to assess performance against
the relevant NMC standards of proficiency.
PL
Mentors who sign off all, or part of a programme leading to registration, ARE
ACCOUNTABLE TO THE NMC for their decision that the students are fit for practice and
that they have the necessary knowledge, skills and competence to take on the role of
registered nurse.
Registration provides a licence to practice and is the prime means of protecting the public.
Mentors are responsible and accountable for:
• Organising and co-ordinating student learning activities in practice
AM
• Supervising students in learning situations and providing them with constructive
feedback on their achievements
• Setting and monitoring achievement of realistic learning objectives
• Assessing total performance- including skills, attitudes and behaviours
• Providing evidence as required by programme providers of student achievement or
lack of achievement
• Liaising with others (e.g. mentors, practice facilitators, programme leaders etc) to
provide feedback, identify any concerns about the student’s performance and agree
action as appropriate
• Providing evidence for, or acting as, sign-off mentors with regard to making
EX
decisions about achievement of proficiency at the end of a programme.
• Check the student’s level of knowledge, skill and competence before assigning
client care activities.
• Assign patient care activities that are within the student’s capabilities and are
commensurate with their point on the course.
• Provide reasonable levels of teaching, guidance and supervision in the clinical area.
• Provide constructive feedback on the student performance at regular and indicated
points during their placement which should be documented.
• Observe/ support the students’ achievement of intended learning outcomes for a
minimum period equivalent to 40% per working week for full-time students and pro-
rata for part-time students.
SKILLS NRSDN1001/1002 COMBINED BRANCH/COHORT ????/LJMU
3
Student Interviews
Initial or preliminary interview is carried out with the student within the first few days of any
placement so a learning agreement can be negotiated and formulated. An intermediate
interview should take place half way through the placement to review progress to date and
that formal feedback is given and documented. The final summative interview needs to
take place towards the end of the last week
Mentor updates
The NMC requires all qualified mentors to maintain and develop their knowledge, skills
and competence as a mentor through regular updating.
The purpose of annual updating is to ensure that mentors:
• Have current knowledge of NMC approved programmes
• Are able to discuss the implications of changes to NMC requirements
• Have an opportunity to discuss issues related to mentoring, assessment of
E
competence and fitness for safe and effective practice.
Mentors should be prepared to demonstrate how they have maintained and developed
their knowledge, skills and competence as a mentor.
