ASSESSMENT

There will be COMPULSORY ASSESSMENTS throughout the placement, and grades will be assigned by the GP Tutor after consultation with others in the Practice who have been involved in teaching.

A full summary of all assessments required for this placement is shown below;

Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) - Two of these are required for each student during the placement. One should take place during Week 1, and the second should take place before Week 8.

  • Patient Feedback Forms – 10 patient feedback forms to be completed. This should be completed by week 5 and feedback should be reviewed by the GP tutor. This can be included as part of the midway assessment. The patient feedback forms will be available on QM+.
  • ‘Midway Assessment’ at Week 5. This is to include a review of 1 x MiniCEX and the returned Patient Feedback Forms (as above). This assessment can be used as a check point to review the og book and to discuss with the GP Tutor how the placement is going. If there are any concerns at this Midway Assessment they can be discussed with the Year 5 team.

The overall grades will range from Commended, Pass, and Referred. The latter should be awarded if attendance has been unsatisfactory without an appropriate reason, or if poor performance warrants it. 

Significant periods of absence will be notified to the Unit Convenor as soon and may lead to the student repeating the block and refused entry to Finals or Graduation.

Students who receive a referred grade will be asked to meet with the Unit Convenor for a further discussion.

·       The Complex Care Plan should be completed during the first placement.

·       The Patient Case and Reflection on Professional Practice Principles should be completed during the second placement.

  • Significant Event Analysis – write up and discussion in SEA team meeting during either placement.
  • Patient feedback by the end of the second placement.

·       An Assessment of Professional Attitude and Conduct Form should be submitted by each Practice.
