Practice Placement Learning Outcomes

You will find the learning outcomes that students are expected to meet in practice placement learning settings in the Assessment of Practice documentation.

Assessment of Practice 

Assessment on the BSc Learning Disability Nursing and Social Work (ICC) course will be based on the MYEPAD and PebblePad platforms. The MYEPAD includes nursing and social work assessment of practice documentation.

The PAN-Midlands, Yorkshire and East Practice Learning Group (MYEPLG) website is an emerging resource of information hosting the regional work on the implementation of the Practice Supervisor and Practice Assessor roles, the PAN MYEPAD and the Academic Assessor role. See a demonstration copy of the MYEPAD Practice Assessment Document

PebbleHelp provides links to help and advice for PebblePad users and for all MYEPAD users. We also have a dedicated email address which you can use to ask for support or to request a demonstration view of the MYEPAD Practice Assessment Document: pebblehelp@shu.ac.uk

• If you are a Practice Assessor, you will need a MYEPAD account. If you need to set up your MYEPAD account, please contact your Education Lead or Link Lecturer for advice
• If you are a Practice Supervisor please access MYEPAD via your student's PebblePocket app

For further advice, please contact Sarah Burns.
