SSSA (Student Standards Supervision and Assessment) - Nurses only

SSSA (Student Standards Supervision and Assessment)

 Universities are collaborating to provide training dates below Via MS Teams, to staff who need preparation or updating for the practice supervisor or practice assessor role.

We are trying to organise slightly differently due to some changes for some of the sessions that occurred in the autumn

On training passports, the following competency may be visible.

• NHS|EDU| Practice Supervisor
• NHS|EDU| Practice Assessor

To complete the Practice assessor training it is advisable to have completed the Practice Supervisor training and had a minimum of 6 months experience (or 2-3 students) including contributions to MyePad before moving on to do the assessor course.

• To apply for a place on any of the courses so that a MS link / invite can be sent out to you, Please use the form SSSA (Student Standards Supervision and Assessment) Nurses only – Fill in form

Practice assessor training dates (currently)

In Line with the NMC Standards for Student Supervision and Assessment (SSSA, 2018) staff supporting students should be a practice supervisor – planning and supporting learning. This role can be any registered healthcare professional.

The Practice Supervisor Training will outline the role and requirements, run through the ‘MYEPAD’ assessment document on PebblePad software and answer any questions you may have.

SSSA states that an NMC registered nurse can act as a practice assessor for nursing students, and registered nursing associates can be practice assessors for Trainee Nursing Associates. The Practice Assessor Training will focus on the assessment role, placement progression and interviews and the assessment process, including using the MYEPAD on PebblePad as a practice assessor and answer any questions you may have.
