SSSA Resources – Pan London Practice Learning Group

Pan London Practice Learning Group Standards for Student Supervision and Assessment Resources

The PLPLG, in consultation with their practice partners, have developed a range of resources to prepare Practice Supervisors and Practice Assessors for the new roles as detailed in the Standards for student supervision and assessment, (NMC 2018). The resources include sessions to prepare current mentors to transition to the new role of Practice Assessor and sessions to prepare new staff for the roles of Practice Supervisor and Practice Assessor.

The Development Route Map gives an overview of all the resources available. These have been developed to be used flexibly depending on the organisations needs and include face to face modules and e-learning modules.
