Teaching & learning needs

To maximise learning opportunities, supervisors and assessors need to be motivated to facilitate learning in practice and be well-prepared for the role. Supervisors and assessors should recognise excellent role models' positive impact on learners. This enhances the learner's experience and allows confidence and proficiency to develop as their programme progresses. 

Where learners hold supernumerary status, it is important that they maintain this status and are not utilised for service provision. There should be many opportunities to develop knowledge and a range of skills, with the ability to reinforce this overtime to embed learning.
