Thinking Outside the Box - Ideas for Students

"How can I provide evidence for assessment in addition to reflection, to support sign off?"

The following ideas may be useful to help students in gathering appropriate evidence to support sign off of proficiencies:

• Videoing a clinical skills or simulation session of themselves performing or demonstrating the skill, with accompanying narrative around knowledge, skill and values

• Peer assessment in simulation using a checklist

• Evidence of engagement with clinicalskills.net or other online learning resources (all students have free access to clinicalskills.net as part of their course)

• Engagement with the Clinical Skills Repository, sharing this with your PA to assist assessment

• Engagement with - and reflection on - self-directed learning opportunities at SHU

• Micro teaching to colleagues, peers, patients, evidenced with reflection and/or testimony

• Feedback from patients
