General Practice 2 Handbook 2021/22

Engaging with the feedback process is a key part of students’ learning and professional development. This involves learning about both the giving and receiving of constructive feedback and understanding how these feedback processes can support their own, and their tutors’, professional development as well as guiding the ongoing development of the placement. Students and GP tutors/facilitators will be asked to provide feedback about their placement experience via online forms. 

Student feedback  

• Students will receive feedback on their assessments from their GP tutor and/or GP facilitator as outlined in the assessment information.  
• Students will be asked to submit their feedback about their placement experience at the end of the placement. This consists of both individual and group feedback. They will be sent links to these online feedback forms and instructions on how to complete these prior to the final placement days. 
• Students are encouraged to approach their GP tutor/facilitator and/or the unit convenors if they have any queries or concerns during the placement. Important issues e.g., lack of patient contact, should be raised as early as possible so that it can be addressed and remedied as soon as possible.  

Tutor/facilitator feedback 

• Tutor/facilitators will be sent online forms for the student assessments as outlined in the assessment information. 
• Tutors are also required to provide formative feedback to each student to support the develop of their reflective practice and overall professional development. This also serves to model the constructive giving and receiving of feedback to their students. This formative feedback can be delivered verbally and/or in a written format.  
• The use of informal feedback, to review learning experiences and ensure students’ learning needs and the placements learning outcomes are being met, during the placement is encouraged and can be collected as the placement progresses. For example, using Mentimeter to set up anonymous polls or Q&As at the end of each placement day or using post-it notes on Jamboard (or a real whiteboard if onsite). 
• Tutors/facilitators will be asked to submit their feedback about their placement experience at the end of the placement. They will be sent links to these online feedback forms and instructions on how to complete these.
