PebblePad is used at St George’s University of London to record students' Workplace Based Assessments (WPBAs) in clinical settings. As a healthcare professional, you may be asked to assess students from SGUL as they carry out procedures, conduct tests on patients and provide feedback on their competencies as well as their overall professionalism.

Students are being encouraged to use the PebblePocket App, as it allows them to capture information in the moment and reduces any delays in getting feedback, particularly as most of them are on placement for a very short period of time. However we appreciate that as health professionals you are extremely busy with diverse demands on your time.

Below are some instructional videos to help you get familiar with using PebblePad, if you are not familiar with the system or would appreciate a refresher.

Completing assessments in person (using PebblePocket) SGULs preferred option

The video below demonstrates how to complete assessments using PebblePocket.

Option 2 - Complete shared assessments (using PebblePad)

If, due to exceptional circumstances, you are not able to meet with the student in person, you can request that they share the assessment with you. You will need to activate an account with PebblePad (the online side side of the system), which only takes a few minutes, so you can access assessment(s). Assessments with PebblePad are completed through a browser (so a data connection) is required.

The videos below demonstrate how to:
