• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
The purpose of clinical assessment in this programme is to give structured feedback to learners and capture what they have learnt, understood and can apply to their nursing practice. The assessment strategy for this programme includes two assessments, both of which must be attained to successfully pass the entire programme. Participants receive individual feedback on their progress and academic work. If a learner has any concerns about their grades, requests for additional feedback should be made in writing to the nurse tutor in the CCNE within two weeks of publication of results.
