Extended Link Supervisor Model - Anne Spiers http://www.iriss.org.uk/node/6... download (audio/mpeg, 16.22Mb) Description: This podcast might be of interest to anyone involved in student practice learning within the workplace. Although its focus is on social work practice, the model described could be adapted for use within a wide range of other professional contexts.Anne Spiers, a member of the Workforce Planning and Development section of City of Edinburgh Council outlines a model of engagement with students within her authority that provides them with diverse opportunities to meet the standards set down by their learning programmes. She explains the model adopted and provides concrete examples of how this can be applied in practice. Through these examples, she covers thorny issues such as, whose responsibility it is to provide the assessment of a student's practice; how students can meet the requirements of their learning programme whilst working with a range of supervisors and who is ultimately in control?

93. A practice role for nurse lecturers: an anachronistic concept? - Sally Glen http://www.iriss.org.uk/node/5... download (audio/mpeg, 17.95Mb) Description: The wholesale movement of nursing education into higher education is now a decade old. The catalyst was Project 2000, which was a vision, not only a professional qualification, but an academic one, the diploma in higher education. A review of the literature, however, identifies how the nursing curriculum has always been subject to continuous external pressure and is a balancing act between health service needs, the educational vision of the day and the available financial resources. Its product: the registered nurse functions as both a test bed and barometer of public opinion, with some of the current ills of the NHS laid at the door of higher education and its role in nursing training (Carr 2007). Two constant discourses are: pre-registration nurses are emerging from nurse education programmes without essential clinical skills and the requirement for nurse lecturers to support students in the clinical environment during their preparation. This paper therefore provides a critical evaluation of the practice role of nurse lecturers over the last three decades. This paper argues that a practice role for nurse lecturers is an anachronistic concept and draws on an early paper (Glen and Clark 1999 ) and recent research On nurse lecturers' perceptions of their current role (Carr 20071) and advocates, to quote the title of an earlier paper, a new skill mix for the future.Professor Sally Glen is Pro Vice-Chancellor of the University of Wolverhampton where she has responsibility for the academic portfolio, curriculum development, quality systems and academic standards, learning and teaching, the student learning experience, and e-learning. Before joining the University in September 2006, Professor Glen was Deputy Director of the Institute of Health Sciences, Dean of School of Nursing and Midwifery, and Professor of Education at City University. From May 1996-January 2000, she was Dean of the School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Dundee.Her research interests include philosophical approaches to professional education in health and social care. She has published widely in the field of health and social care education and edited Supporting Learning in Nursing Practice, e-learning in Nursing, and Interprofessional Post-Qualifying Education for Nurses.Professor Glen is currently on the Editorial Board of Learning in Health and Social Care; she is a Non- Executive Director of City and East London Mental Health Trust and chairs the Trust's Ethics Committee.

96. Traditional? You tell me - John Geates http://www.iriss.org.uk/node/5... download (audio/mpeg, 12.08Mb) Description: The title Traditional - You Tell Me challenges thinking in relation to Police training. There is a perception that still exists about traditional, old fashioned methods in the way that officers are trained and groomed for service. Nothing, in this modern day could be further from the truth.Current training and development of officers whether recruits, specialists or leaders is designed in the application of academic practice, principles and accreditation. The training and development delivered now is at the forefront of progressive and lateral thinking and in this risk managed environment while endeavouring to maintain the standards values and ethics that the public rightly demand of their Police Service. Whilst such standards are the same, the developmental process that officers go through to achieve them differ greatly from previous years. The Police professionalisation in this regard has changed significantly.In addition there is now a strong drive to add meaningful personal development to the professionalisation package and recognise this through the enhancement of a qualification that hopefully encourages future growth. The investment in Police Officers has been extended now to an educational and development investment in Police Staff who now have a similar raft of opportunities available to them.The Scottish Police College is being recognised within the United Kingdom and International Policing Arenas as an exemplar in the continued exploration of development in training and education. This recognition has also extended into academic circles through the achievement in the past six months of two SQA Awards (including the Pride of Worth Award) and a UK National Training Award for the Probationer Training Programme. While such awards go a considerable way to providing assurance that the right path is being taken, this journey of development and improvement is only beginning.Assistant Chief Constable Geates started off his career in 1981 in Ayrshire. He subsequently worked in Glasgow Divisions in uniform and CID, has been attached to the Serious Crime Squad and was Head of Strathclyde Police's Surveillance Unit. In 1998, he was appointed Detective Superintendent and given responsibility for the investigation of serious/major crime, strategic CID management functions and policy making responsibilities, together with territorial accountability.Since then Mr. Geates has been Deputy Divisional Commander within the Maryhill Division in Glasgow, has introduced a Professional Standards unit into Strathclyde Police and also served as Head of Corporate Planning and Development.In 2004 Mr Geates headed a joint external review team who conducted an investigation into Fife Constabulary and Fife Councils Management of a non registered sex offender who had murdered a 16 year old girl. Their report, which contained 20 strategic change recommendations, was fully endorsed by the Scottish Executive.In August 2005 he was appointed head of the Engaging Criminality review Team, where he led a review of the work of the CID within Strathclyde Police.In January 2006, he headed a reinvestigation into the Nat Fraser murder enquiry and subsequently reported the findings to the Lord Advocate for Scotland.He was appointed as Deputy Director of the Scottish Police College which took effect from Monday 12th June, 2006 and on 21 August 2007 took up the post of Director.
97. Beyond anecdote: the quest to codify practice wisdom - Mark Doel http://www.iriss.org.uk/node/5... download (audio/mpeg, 18.33Mb) Description: The everyday experience of practice is rich in potential for learning, as practice educators (student supervisors) are well aware. However, there are considerable barriers to the systematic and sensitive collection of these experiences, with the result that much potential learning is lost.Mark Doel will analyse the barriers to integrating learning and practice, and he will also present a practical, tested model to help practitioners to sample their practice in a systematic fashion and to share it with others. The model has been successfully developed with qualified and unqualified practitioners in social care and further refined to include an assessment component for continuing professional development. The richness of practice is not lost, yet it is captured in a systematic way so that it goes beyond anecdote. It begins to codify practice wisdom.Finally, Professor Doel will consider how the practice community can learn from the stories of people who have positive experiences of practice to tell. He will report on a recent project, just concluded, which gave voice to these positive experiences of practice and the wisdom they impart.Professor Mark Doel is Research Professor of Social Work in the Centre for Health and Social Care Research at Sheffield Hallam University. His research focuses on improving the quality of professional practice in order to improve the quality of services. He has an international reputation in the field of practice learning and teaching, and the use of groupwork and task-centred practice as empowering methods of practice. He was a practising social worker for almost twenty years.Professor Doel is widely published, with twelve books to his name, most recently Modern Social Work Practice, Teaching and Learning in Practice Settings; The Task-Centred Book; and Using Groupwork. He is co-editor of the journal Groupwork, and associate editor (social work) for Learning in Health and Social Care.
