Course placement requirements are carefully mapped and calculated to ensure that the hours required to register with the relevant professional statutory regulatory body (NMC\/HCPC\/SW England) are completed within the approved programme planner.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expectation is that students will attend 100% of the allocated practice sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each course will have clear direction as to the hours required within each placement block and students will work the required hours in practice following the available shift \/ hours patterns that the allocated service operates.\u00a0Students should attend all allocated hours during the placement and report sickness absence as per absence reporting guidance to the placement area and the university \u2013 attendance and absence should be entered onto the electronic timesheet system.\u00a0Only hours attended in clinical practice will count, you cannot claim hours for anything else; including self-study, interview days, training and skills sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There may be occasions, due to illness or personal circumstances, where a student has not completed the number of practice hours planned within a placement block or across a programme.\u00a0Students can make up hours missed during a placement block, provided the placement area agrees to accommodate this.\u00a0Additional hours can be accomplished by extending 8-hour shifts to long shifts (if available in the practice area) or by working extra days on your days off (not during allocated theory \/ study days). For some practice areas, such as placements that span the working week – 09:00-17:00, it may not be possible to make up hours within that placement block and the outstanding hours will carry forward.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any time that can be made up within a placement block needs to be negotiated with the placement provider in advance, to ensure they can support this, which may be dependent on the number of learners in that practice area at the time.\u00a0Other priorities, for example assessments or part-time work, and the student\u2019s well-being, should be considered to ensure the extra shifts are reasonable and manageable and if required this should also be discussed with the academic assessor.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students making up hours within placement must consider their professional responsibility regarding service user safety and personal wellbeing.\u00a0The current Government guidance<\/a> for employees states you must not exceed the maximum weekly working hours <\/a>and must not work above 48 hours per week<\/strong>. <\/strong>This guidance may influence local policy and placement area decisions in regard to making up additional time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n All hours worked, including time made up must be recorded on your electronic timesheet, breaks are not included.\u00a0It is not acceptable to \u2018bank\u2019 extra hours worked to shorten the length of the placement or the programme.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skills, simulation and academic weeks are planned outside of normal clinical placement time, and these hours will count towards the mandatory theory hours required for the course. Students are not able to work any additional clinical or placement hours during these weeks, and these weeks cannot be added to practice timesheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All students will be supported to achieve the required hours for their course.\u00a0Multiple outstanding missed placement hours may result in an extension to the program length and on occasion may result in a delay to registration, in order to meet the hours required by professional statutory regulatory bodies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a student fails their placement, this result is taken to the next Academic Board. The Academic Board makes the decision as to whether retrieval of practice is granted. If a retrieval of practice is granted, a placement is arranged and time frame with resubmission requirements are agreed and shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0A retrieval of practice is a repeat of the previous placement, with a clear action plan, and with support of the practice educators\/supervisors\/assessors and link tutors\/coach in practice, to address the learning outcomes that have not yet been achieved.\u00a0This may or may not be in the same placement area with the same supervisory arrangements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nursing Specific – the length and location of the retrieval placement is based on the following guidance: <\/p>\n\n\n\n All retrievals are subject to academic board agreement that a further opportunity is permitted; where a student has been referred in more than one placement, or where there may be other factors to consider, the retrieval period(s), if granted by the academic board, will be agreed on an individual basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ability to continue into the next year with outstanding modules falls into the academic regulations as outlined and if more than one fail is outstanding this may result in a requirement to discuss interruption or withdraw from studies or to repeat the year with a cohort below. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Placement Hours & retrieval Process Hours During Placement Course placement requirements are carefully mapped and calculated to ensure that the hours required to register with the relevant professional statutory regulatory body (NMC\/HCPC\/SW England) are completed within the approved programme planner.\u00a0 The expectation is that students will attend 100% of the allocated practice sessions.
