The following guidance applies to students on the AHP702 module

This module comes with a minimum fifty-hour placement requirement. This is your opportunity to begin honing your advanced clinical assessment skills, history taking, and clinical reasoning.

Please record your hours, where the placement was undertaken, and your supervisor for that day which may or may not be your named ACP clinical supervisor. There is also a space for you to record your activities for each day with a reflection.

Once you have completed your placement, please have your named ACP clinical supervisor verify your placement times and dates, and also use this as an opportunity to discuss your learning and progress thus far.
