Title: Tri-partite/Theory Hours Log Sheet/Library Tour/Introduction to the Module Developing Professional and Academic Skills for Nursing Associate

Developing Professional and Academic Skills for Nursing

Tri-partite Review Form

The day started with learning about tri-partite review. It is a form which involves three parties, the apprentice, the educator, and the employer. The purpose of this review is to ensure that the apprentice is making good progress against the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the apprenticeship and for the competence in their role.These meetings are done through a face to face or virtual and points made will be recorded on the tri-partite review form and thereafter all parties must sign.

Theory Hours Log Sheet

This is used to track and record the time spent learning theoretical concepts in a former educational or training setting. The log sheet helps track Progress towards required theory hours needed for programme completion. Accurate and detailed tracking is essential not only for my reflection but also for the institution’s monitoring of progress.

Introduction to Developing Professional and Academic Skills for Nursing Associates

Under this module I was told what would be taught on each day of the week and we had a run through on each of the topics. I learnt lesson outcomes are crucial, they clearly define what I am expected to know, understand or able to do after completing the lesson. They will  help me focus my efforts on what is important, allowing me to prioritise my studies.

Library Tour

I had a library tour with the group. This was a session for me to familiarise with the resources, facilities and services available in the library. I was shown where to locate books related to my course, printing services and how to access digital resources like e-books. The library tour was important because it’s provided insights into how to effectively use the resources available for academic success. I might have struggled to locate the necessary resources or being unaware of the various tools and services available to support my learning.

In future tri- partite meetings, I plan to be more proactive in discussing both successes and challenges I have faced during the course of this programme I will also ensure that I communicate any specific support I need from my educator or employer to bridge.

To improve my theory hours log sheet, I will commit to logging my hours immediately after completing each learning lesson. This will ensure accuracy and help me monitor my progress.

Going forward, I will make an habit of utilising the library more actively, especially the study space. I now plan to incorporate visits to the library into my study routine, taking advantage of the quiet areas.
