Welcome.
We are an 18 bedded ward consisting of 2 bays and 4 side rooms. We specialise in general
elective surgery i.e. colorectal, upper gastro-intestinal, urology, gynaecology and
orthopaedics.
Each student will be allocated a practice assessor and a named practice supervisor although
will work alongside various team members. This system facilitates continuity and aims to
ensure your assessments are fair and valid with all team members being fully aware of the
stage you are at within your training as well as knowing your strengths and areas for
improvement.
Students are expected to act in a professional manner and adhere to NMC code of professional
conduct (and Trust policies) with upholding patient confidentiality at all times. Therefore please
ensure you dispose of your handover sheet in the confidential bin located next to the crash trolley
prior to leaving each shift.
You should expect your practice assessor and practice supervisor to be supportive and enhance your
learning needs. Any problems PLEASE speak with your practice supervisor, practice assessor and/or
the PEL.
It is your responsibility to inform your practice supervisor and practice assessor when your
assessments (both midpoint and final point) need to be completed by. This should be set out, and
documented on the off duty, at the beginning of you placement.
Off Duty.
Shifts are allocated according supervisor and assessor’s off duty although you may not directly
work alongside them).
You will be encouraged to work some weekends in order to fully understand and experience the
full range of care given.
We understand due to family commitments/study you may need to alter your off duty. If this is
the case please speak to your practice assessor / PEL – if not available speak to the nurse in
charge of the shift.
Student off duty is kept in the student nurse off duty
(purple folder) which is kept in the ward office.

Early (E) 7.00-13.30 Late (L) 13.00-19.30 Long Day (LD) 7.00-19.30
