• Assessment 1A – Learning contract proposal: Students will negotiate a learning contract addressing their individual learning needs to support achievement of the necessary clinical and professional skills that they require to underpin advanced and extended practice within their identified area of nursing practice.
• Assessment 1B – Learning contract (management of complex cases): Successful completion will be confirmed by the clinical supervisor in the form of a written report reviewing observed clinical performance.
• Assessment 2 – Clinical practice log: Students will complete advanced clinical work, as negotiated by their learning contracts. Students will alo compile a reflective journal as a component of a clinical log. The clinical log will not only demonstrate fulfilled required clinical hours, but also how these experiences have contributed to their clinical skills development and learning.

• Assessment 5 – Clinical assessment: The assessment will be based on the assessor’s observations and further questioning if required, along with a review of at least three clinical cases which both the supervisor and student have managed together.
