It is used by both the university and practice to: • ensure that students' learning needs are being met in a safe environment • inform planning of future practice learning experiences • identify areas for improvements and of excellence which can be shared with others • provide evidence of quality learning and mentorship within the Excellence in Care initiative (Scottish Government, 2015) • provide valuable feedback to mentors and practice teachers on the work they do with students which can be used as evidence for reflection as part of Nursing & Midwifery Council Revalidation (NMC, 2015).
