The Mentorship Module Team MODULE OVERVIEW
The Mentorship module forms part of the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s (NMC) standards to Support Learning and Assessment in Practice (NMC 2008). The mentorship qualification can be achieved through the successful completion of an approved NMC Mentorship module achieving stage 2 (Mentor) of the above standards. Please see the following module outlines for level 3 and level M Mentorship module.
NB: Mentor in Practice
Prior to commencing the mentorship module, each student mentor will be required to identify the name of a qualified mentor who has maintained their mentor status by attending annual mentor updates and engaging in triennial review. The named mentor will support the student mentor throughout the duration of the module with particular regard to practice learning activities.
The emphasis throughout the module is placed on personal and professional
development, engaging in reflection and reflexivity, to develop and extend coaching, assessment and facilitation skills necessary to support learning in practice.
You will have an opportunity to explore the nature of learning and teaching in practice through the study of learning theories, the concept of adult learning and experiential learning activities. Leading on from this, you will also focus on
assessment and evaluation strategies in the context of giving feedback, measuring achievement, reliability, validity, competence and quality.
Day 1 – Introduction to supporting learners in practice Day 2 – Learning and teaching
Day 3 – Assessment, peer review
Day 4 – Quality, audit and scope of practice

All submissions must be accompanied with a signed carbon copy feedback sheet; found in the Communications Room. Without the signed declaration of own work your script cannot be processed.

Please note that we do not give out marks over the phone. Unratified feedback is only available by coming to the Duke of Kent building, unless you have provided a stamped addressed envelope. Please note unratified results are not available if you have had an extension. If you have been referred in either part do NOT contact the mentorship team until the ratified marks are published and you have collected your work from exams as there is information in your LDP that instructs you what to do.

Your work will only be posted to you if you provide a stamped and self-addressed envelope.

You may nominate a friend or colleague to collect work on your behalf. A signed letter is required naming the person to collect the work, who will be required to sign their name on collection.
