Time line for summative assessment:











NMC requirement that students are assessed summatively at the end of each stage & then a sign
off mentor assessment at end of Stage 3
All stages must be passed in order to progress
All summative assessments must be completed by Hub mentor – can review evidence/testimonials
from elsewhere – but ultimately only one person summatively assessing you
Normally only 2 attempts at summative practice assessment – failure at second attempt would
result in discontinuation regardless of stage of programme
Practice assessments must occur in the identified progression point weeks
 See the identified weeks for your specific cohort
If referred at 1st attempt must liaise with mentor and link lecturer team
Action plan must be established and adhered to
If required only 2nd attempt must occur before the end of the placement/end of Stage
OAR must be submitted to University at end of Stage for verification by IANP module team
Ensure everything fully complete prior to submission otherwise will be returned
OAR is YOUR professional record of progress

hours post progression point – this total hours will be checked by the IANP module
team during their verification of document
