Abstract

Clinical assessment within the Nursing Undergraduate Programme was being interpreted in ways that did not offer consistency,parity, and fairness to students. The purpose of ‘in-point assessment’ is to confirm students are meeting levels of proficiencyexpected across all three years of the nursing programme. To remedy this, lecturers from the Adult Nursing faculty and the Simulation Team developed high quality exemplar videos to clearly identify the expectations of this assessment. These video resources offered students an inclusive, innovative and authentic design and enabled co- production between academics and professional staff which was highly rewarding and enabled further development for future projects. A series of four 20-minute role-play videos were developed to address the clinical assessment criteria across the programme,including assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating care (year one); medicines management (year two), supervising and supporting learning; and leading, managing and coordinating care (year three). Preliminary evaluations using Mentimeter response tools and online survey forms has revealed that such resources were valued as an effective way of learning and understanding the criteria associated with in-point assessments. Ultimately, this resource has offered an inclusive learning experience that enabled students to meet their clinical proficiencies.
