Total percentage (Assessment Coursework)		50.00

This module is graded for University purposes but will be marked on a pass/merit/distinction basis to meet with apprenticeship regulations The Presentation of Practice: At the beginning of the End Point assessment period the apprentice is given a template on which they must write a clinical practice change report. The apprentice is provided with a table, which outlines the structure and content of the report. The apprentice uses the report as the basis for a 25-minute presentation, followed by 10 minutes of questioning. The apprentice is provided with a table, which outlines the expectations of the presentation. The change report and presentation are assessed using criteria provided within the National End Point Assessment Plan. The report and presentation must be provided in electronic format to the independent assessor 5 working days before the assessment event. Re-Sit Opportunities: If an apprentice is unsuccessful in either component they are permitted one resit opportunity, which should be taken within 3 months of the formal confirmation of fail. Only the failed component needs to be retaken. If a resit is required, the maximum grade that can be awarded for the apprenticeship is 50 / pass. The employing organisation must confirm the apprentices' readiness for resit.

This module is graded for University purposes but will be marked on a pass/merit/distinction basis to meet with apprenticeship regulations The Examination: The first 20 minutes of the exam is for reading time. The apprentice is permitted to have with them during the examination three referenced written case studies from their own experience (. i.e their own work.) Each case study must be no larger than 1500 words excluded references and should be presented on a template provided by the School. The case studies must not have been submitted as a component of any summative assessment elsewhere on the programme.
