Diary of Learning activity
(itemise learning activity and reflect on the main points of learning from each. You should identify for each entry the relevant KSB)
This marks the final session of the year, during which we revisited the topics of British Values, PREVENT awareness, and the NMC code. Additionally, we had the chance to exchange our personal experiences from our recent placements, discussing both the positive and negative aspects we encoutered. We assess our ePAD to determine any deficiencies in our theory hours, practice hours, and protected practice learning hours. Furthermore, we received guidance on the necessary steps to take in the event of failing to pass the resubmission of our assignemtns including completing our learning logs.
