Clinical Observation & Documentation
8 weeks · 0 milestones
Complete a supervised clinical placement with documented patient observations. Proof requires a structured observation log covering at least 10 patient contacts (no patient-identifying information in the submitted proof), with documented vital signs, clinical findings observed, and the student's clinical reasoning notes for each contact. The log must be signed off by a registered nurse or clinical educator who supervised the contacts. Peer verification is NOT sufficient for this outcome — qualified supervisor attestation is required. The proof documents the student's learning under supervision, not independent clinical assessments.

3 milestones
Under qualified clinical supervision, observe 10 distinct patient encounters (you are observing only — not involved in clinical care). For each encounter, write a structured log: presenting situation (anonymised to age-band, setting, and presenting condition), clinical actions observed and the professional rationale as you understood it, and one learning question the encounter raised. Logs are a record of your learning — they contain no clinical assessment of the patient and no patient identifiers.
Proof required
Submit 10 observation logs and written supervisor confirmation that these observations occurred under your supervision in a clinical setting. Supervisor must be a registered healthcare professional. All patient identifiers must be removed.
What gets checked
- Every log describes a specific, distinct clinical encounter — not a general summary of a shift.
- No patient names, dates of birth, MRN/NHS numbers, or location-specific details that could identify a patient.
- Supervisor confirmation includes their name, registration number/credentials, and the clinical setting.
