The multi professional quality assurance toolkit supports new learning environments to host learners, as well as providing a quality assurance monitoring process of the learning environment of existing practice areas. The toolkit has three key parts. Firstly, the approval tool will assure the learning environment meets required standards and secondly the ongoing monitoring tool. The third section relates to an escalation and triangulation guidance when there is a concern to the clinical learning environment.
The quality assurance toolkit will be used in the following circumstances:
- To support a new clinical learning environment
- To support the expansion of learners with a different regulatory body i.e. the placement has been approved for HCPC learners however it wishes to expand the opportunity to NMC learners.
- To manage quality concerns of the learning environment
- To provide a process of ongoing quality monitoring of an existing placement provider
