The aim of the programmeThe aim of this programme is to provide a formal process that develops and assesses the midwife’s competence in order for her to return to working competently without direct supervision.

Overall objectives of this supervised practice programme To provide a positive and encouraging learning experience for the midwife that

will facilitate him/her to gain the required experience and knowledge in order to achieve the agreed outcomes.

To facilitate the midwife to achieve the level of competence necessary to practise midwifery safely (Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 4.2).

To facilitate a supportive environment, which enables the midwife to reflect on practice and become a confident, competent practitioner of contemporary practice.

Programme specification The LSAMO must agree the programme before the midwife starts (NMC

Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 4.3).

The midwife should be supernumerary during the course of the programme. This means that the midwife should work with a degree of direct and indirect supervision and have the opportunity to discuss ongoing clinical care and decision making with her/his clinical mentor (NMC Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 4.5).

During the period of supervised practice, the midwife must not be involved in the teaching or mentoring of students (NMC Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 4.6). If there are issues surrounding an individual’s ability to act as a mentor then this must be addressed separately and on an individual basis.

To ensure that all concerned have a clear focus on the requirements of this programme it should be ensured that the programme has measurable objectives and clear outcomes, with the midwife and the mentor providing clear evidence of achievement.

The objectives and learning outcomes will relate to the specified needs and proficiencies identified within the supervisory investigation as being of concern, and from the NMC Domains and ‘Essential skills clusters’ (NMC Standards for pre-registration midwifery education 2009).

The midwife should have input into the design and content of the programme in relation to the learning outcomes, which should be directly related to the identified practice needs and documented within the specific supervised practice programme.

Supervised Practice Programme 5

Page 6: Supervised Practice Programme - NIPECnipec.hscni.net/PETEvaluationFramework/docs... · Web viewThe format for demonstrating theoretical knowledge will be in the form of a 3000 word

The midwife will need to pass all the elements of the programme (practice and academic work) to complete the programme successfully.

Information pertaining to the supervised practice programme should be confined to individuals on a ‘need to know’ basis. This should include those individuals who are able to contribute to a positive experience for the midwife, such as the Head of Midwifery (HOM) and shift leaders. The HOM has the authority to sanction supernumerary status for the midwife and facilitate other employment issues. The shift leaders should be aware in order to ensure adequate support for the midwife

Assessment Assessment of clinical competenceClinical midwifery practice is assessed by clinical mentor

The midwife must demonstrate ability and competence to the standard of a newly qualified midwife (Level 3) to be deemed competent and fit to practise as a midwife; this is different to an employer’s requirement to be fit for role. Any aspects of extension of role or employment status will be determined by employers.

It is expected that the minimum standard (level 3) is acceptable to complete a programme of supervised practice.

Marking criteria – Assessment Criteria for clinical practiceLevel 3 Pass The midwife can demonstrate competence in the areas of midwifery practice assessed by this programme (Midwife at point of registration).

Level 2 and below Fail The midwife has not demonstrated competence (attitude, knowledge, skills abilities) in the areas assessed by this programme (Student / Maternity Care Assistant).

Stage 1 Developmental period

The clinical mentor will be working with the midwife at all times in a teaching capacity.

Stage 2 Assessment of competence

The clinical mentor will be working with the midwife at all times and assessing the midwife’s proficiency in the clinical environment.

Assessment of theoryTheoretical midwifery knowledge assessed by academic mentor

The format for demonstrating theoretical knowledge will be in the form of a 3000 word academic essay with the title:

‘A structured reflection on the situation which resulted in supervised practice ensuring that all the proficiencies set are covered’

Supervised Practice Programme 6

Page 7: Supervised Practice Programme - NIPECnipec.hscni.net/PETEvaluationFramework/docs... · Web viewThe format for demonstrating theoretical knowledge will be in the form of a 3000 word

An academic marking grid is used (see Appendices 2 and 3) to demonstrate fair means of assessment. Assessment will be based on a 40% pass rate.

Midwives without a midwifery degree will be assessed at level 2 and all degree trained midwives will be assessed at level 3.

A system of moderation should be utilised in line with University regulations.

Standards of presentation of written work

Any written work presented for the assessment should

Be typed

Be referenced

Demonstrate the appropriate and agreed level of critical thinking

Formative and summative work should be submitted by the dates agreed at the first meeting

Successful programmeFollowing the successful completion of the supervised practice programme, the midwife will continue to receive ongoing support and guidance from her named supervisor who will also continue to review her practice as appropriate (Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 6.2). The midwife will return to her/his normal working environment, but should not be allowed to return straight away to a practice area where there is minimal supervision or support.

Unsuccessful or incomplete programmeThe LSAMO should be kept informed of progress throughout the programme and should also be involved in the decision of the final outcome. Ideally, the LSAMO will attend or be informed of the outcomes of the initial, interim and final review meetings.

The LSAMO must become involved if the midwife is having difficulty in meeting the proficiencies/learning objectives. The LSAMO, in conjunction with the midwife, and the Investigating/Programme lead supervisor of midwives should review the midwife’s progress on the programme.

Where a midwife fails to meet the objectives set within the programme, and has been given every reasonable opportunity and support to do so, the LSAMO will automatically refer the midwife to the NMC (Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 3.5). The employing Head of Midwifery should be informed.

Where the supervised practice programme is linked to a Trust/ Health Board capability procedure, the midwife should understand from the outset that failure to meet the required competence might result in further disciplinary action. The Trust/ Health Board, where applicable, should be informed of the outcome of the programme.

If a midwife is unwilling to undertake a supervised practice programme the supervisor of midwives must then refer the case to the LSAMO. The midwife should understand that this will result in a referral to the NMC (Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 3.5)

Page 11: Supervised Practice Programme - NIPECnipec.hscni.net/PETEvaluationFramework/docs... · Web viewThe format for demonstrating theoretical knowledge will be in the form of a 3000 word

Health assessmentBefore the programme commences the midwife should be assessed by Occupational Health. The Supervisor facilitating the programme should make the appropriate referral to the Trust/ Health Board Occupational Health Department (Standards for the supervised practice of midwives (2007) standard 3.2).

The programme cannot commence without occupational health clearance.

Health assessment Date

Assessed as fit to undertake the programme

Additional considerations made by Occupational Health

Everyone involved in the supervised practice programme should be aware that the health of the midwife can be re-assessed at any time during the programme, if the midwife displays signs or symptoms of health problems.

Employment issuesWhilst on supervised practice the midwife is not eligible to practise unsupervised anywhere else in the United Kingdom and must not practise as a midwife anywhere else including any work outside the LSA (this includes working as an agency midwife or on the midwifery bank) (Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 3.3).

If the midwife holds a nursing post elsewhere the midwife must inform her/his employer/s of the need to undertake supervised practice and the employer should liaise with the supervisor of midwives. If the midwife is self employed, they must inform their clients.

If the supervised practice programme is to take place outside the midwife’s usual place of employment a rationale for this should be discussed with the midwife, the LSAMO and the current employer and be documented.

An honorary contract, CRB and occupational health clearance is required if working in another practice setting. Discussions should take place locally relating to expenses occurred.

The role of those involved in this supervised practice programme Role of the Local Supervising Authority Midwifery Officer (LSAMO)

The LSAMO exercises the function of the Local Supervising Authority (LSA). An investigating supervisor of midwives will have investigated the incident and will have made a recommendation to the LSA for the next course of action.

The LSAMO:

Agrees the supervised practice programme (Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 4.3).

Provides the supervisors of midwives with support and guidance.

Explores any concerns raised by the midwife about the decision for supervised practice, the programme and the final outcome.

Signs off the programme.

Programme Lead Supervisor of Midwives

The Programme Lead Supervisor of Midwives will normally be the investigating supervisor of midwives. They will:

Plan with the midwife, named supervisor and academic mentor an individual supervised practice programme which is structured and includes objectives that are individual to the midwife concerned, are based on NMC requirements for competence and practice and are related to the incident(s) that occurred (Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 4.2).

Act as an advocate for the midwife on the programme in facilitating her learning needs and will be responsible for ensuring that the content of the programme will support the learning outcomes.

The supervisor of midwives will take responsibility for reviewing progress and will act as overall verifier of the programme outcomes.

Should issues arise during the programme the supervisor of midwives will assist in resolving them.

This supervisor will negotiate with the Head of Midwifery to ensure the supervised practice period and supernumerary status is supported by the Trust/ Health Board. If the midwife is recommended to work outside her/his usual Trust/ Health Board the LSAMO will be consulted to assist in that negotiation with the relevant Head of midwifery.

Facilitate review meetings.

Supervised Practice Programme 12

Page 13: Supervised Practice Programme - NIPECnipec.hscni.net/PETEvaluationFramework/docs... · Web viewThe format for demonstrating theoretical knowledge will be in the form of a 3000 word

Named supervisor of midwives

The named supervisor of midwives will provide confidential support during the programme.

The midwife may contact her to discuss in confidence, her progress and any areas of concern. The named supervisor is also responsible for retaining this supervised practice record within the midwife’s supervisory records and transferring as appropriate if the named supervisor changes. The record must be retained for 25 years and noted on the LSA database.

This supervisor should be involved in the decision making in relation to the achievement of the programme.

The named supervisor should always be present at progress meetings even if the midwife requiring this supervised practice programme chooses not to engage or utilise her as a support person. This serves as advocacy and further support.

Role of clinical mentor(s)

The clinical mentor(s) should be experienced in the area of practice relating to the programme objectives and be on the register of midwife mentors as a sign off mentor (Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 4.5). The clinical mentor does not have to be a supervisor of midwives. The clinical mentor(s) is/are not responsible for further mistakes or omissions made by the midwife whilst on supervised practice.

The clinical mentor(s) will:

Help to ensure that the midwife remains supernumerary for the duration of the programme, and that the midwife also can only make decisions under the supervision of a clinical practice mentor for the proficiencies identified.

Will work with the midwife at all times in the clinical environment and provide clinical advice and guidance to the midwife.

Identify learning opportunities, clinical cases, clinical forums, etc., appropriate to facilitating the learning outcomes.

Be responsible for teaching the midwife during the developmental stage of the programme and subsequently be responsible for assessing the clinical competence of the midwife against the learning outcomes set in the programme.

Provide formal and informal feedback on clinical care given by the midwife on a shift by shift basis highlighting areas of competent practice and also areas that need development in the daily diary.

Identify with the midwife any additional learning needs that become apparent during the programme and liaise with the facilitating supervisor of midwives

Inform the facilitating supervisor of midwives if any additional incidents of unsafe practice occur during the programme (Standards for the supervised practice of midwives 2007 standard 5.6).

Provide a verbal report to the facilitating supervisor of midwives at an interim point and a written report at the final review meeting. This report will provide clear evidence from the clinical perspective of where the midwife has or has not demonstrated competence.

Role of the Academic Mentor (Midwife with a Teaching Qualification)

The role of the academic mentor is to:-

Generate, with the Programme Lead Supervisor, a contract/plan of academic supervision including learning resources required, the amount of dedicated study time required, providing guidance on accessing and updating their learning skills to inform their understanding and academic ability

Mark the assessment to the determined criteria

Utilise a system of moderation to support fair judgement

Provide formative and summative feedback on the work to the midwife and programme lead supervisor throughout the programme.

Role of the Head of Midwifery (HOM)/ Director of Midwifery (DOM)

If the midwife is employed the Head/ Director of Midwifery (HOM/ DOM) needs to agree to the supervised practice programme and should be informed of the programme objectives. This is because there are planning and cost implications for the service. The HOM/DOM should be informed about the outcome of the programme.

Supervised Practice Programme 14
