Learner Resources

This page contains the e-learning resources you will need if you are preparing to become a practice supervisor or practice assessor supporting student learning. Click on the link below for the role you are preparing for.

The Revise and Refresh videos provide a quick in-depth look at the key stages and skills required. You may wish to refresh your knowledge and skills if you have had a long gap between students or are doing a process for the first time (e.g. managing an action plan) and these videos will help you with that.

The resources ‘Supporting Neurodivergent Students’ and ‘Assessing Neurodivergent Students’ have been produced by the NHS Reducing Pre-registration Attrition and Improving Retention (RePAIR) programme.
