Supervising and Assessing Specialist Community Practice
- Study Mode: Part Time
- Location: Distance Learning
- Duration: One Year
- Start Date: September 2024
This programme is designed for Specialist Community Practitioners who are responsible for supervising and assessing the practice of Specialist Community Students such as those who are enrolled on a Specialist Practitioner Qualification or Specialist Community Public Health Nursing programme.
Why study this subject?
The University is well positioned to deliver this module as it has strong and established relationships with Trusts in London, the Thames Valley and beyond.
The aim of this course is to enable Specialist Practitioners to develop the knowledge, skills and values to supervise and assess students working at an advanced level of practice.
The course will be delivered via 4 online workshops delivered in the first term. You will then follow a SCPHN or SPQ student throughout the year which will enable you to develop the skills to effectively lead and manage an educational process in line with the teaching and learning strategy, as determined by a professional curriculum.
You will also gain the knowledge and understanding to effectively assess students at the end of their programme of study, which leads to either registration or a recordable qualification with the NMC (or other professional body).
This programme will also include responsibility for positively influencing the development of the educational environment with a focus on the promotion of interprofessional learning.
What will I study?
Led by our supportive and experienced staff, topics explored on this course include:
- roles and responsibilities of Supervisors and Assessors and Academic Assessor
- establishing effective relationships

What are the course entry requirements?
