NPL
The Nursing Progress Log (NPL) records
how students are progressing in acquiring
clinical skills throughout the course. The
skills are grouped in the NPL according
to their associated theory unit. The
completion of the NPL will be supervised by
a nominated clinical coach in your practice.
Students will need to log into their NPL at
least once a week.
Students are entitled to 3 hours per week
tutorial time with clinical coaches in
practice. One hour of this must be on a one
to one basis to discuss progress and plan
assessments.
OSCE Practical exams
(Objective Structured Clinical
Examination)
The OSCEs are taken once the student has
completed the NPL and all other
assessments have been passed. The
examination consists of 12 task stations,
each one 6 minutes long. The student will
be required to pass 8 out of the 12 stations.
The tasks are published on the City and
Guilds website:
