Personal portfolio of evidence of role and skill development, and an action plan for future continuing professional development The portfolio should include:

- Evidence of achievement of profession specific competencies relevant to the individuals clinical area (pass/refer) (contributes to meeting LO1)
- A 2000 word reflective essay related to the individuals' personal and professional development, drawing on examples from practice evidenced with appropriate theoretical perspectives and/or empirical evidence (80%) (contributes to meeting LO's 1, 2 and 3)
- Action plan for future continuing professional development based on the personal and professional learning needs identified through the critical reflection and the evidencing of competence. (20%) (meets LO 4)

All elements of assessment must be passed to pass the module.

Formative:
Identification of own knowledge gaps through reflection and tutorials and the development of a learning plan

This programme of preceptorship will allow practitioners to build on their existing knowledge and skills base so that by the end of the period of preceptorship practitioners will have evidenced development and competence in identified areas. This will be achieved through a work-based learning approach, with preceptees allocated to a preceptor for support, guidance and verification of practice achievement.
A key component of the programme will be completion of the Edward Jenner programme, an online learning resource to support newly qualified practitioners: http://jenner.leadershipacademy.nhs.uk/ This website has learning tools for preceptee's.
