For the follow-up and evaluation of the students in the different periods of the Practicum there are three relevant figures: the academic tutor, the clinical tutor and the follow-up tutor. The three tutors accompany and ensure the achievement of the competencies (both generic and specific) of each of the Practicums through continuous and formative assessment.

The subject of the Clinical Practicum I include a period, where one of its main objectives is caring of people in childhood and adulthood, healthy or with acute or chronic health illness. The centres where the clinical stays are carried out include Acute Hospital Units of different levels of complexity, Primary Care Centres and Socio-health Centres in order to favour the learning of the basic cares of the people.

Individual follow-up:

The individual follow-up of the student is carried out in the health institutions with the accompaniment and support of a clinical tutor and a follow-up tutor, both of whom are nursing professionals who ensure the improvement and acquisition of student skills during their clinical practice.

The evaluation is carried out jointly considering the evolution of the student during the practical period.

Seminars:

During the period of Clinical Practicum I, two online seminars are held, in small groups (10-12 students), and facilitated by the academic tutor.

Final work:

Students, during their practical stays, carry out an evaluable written work that they will have to present during the last face-to-face seminar.

Important information:

Attendance at external internships and seminars is mandatory and is subject to the "Regulations for External Internships in Healthcare Institutions for UPF Students" and the "Regulations for External Internships for ESCST Degree in Nursing Students" approved on July 10, 2019.

Each seminar will have a weighting that will be part of the final evaluation of the seminars. In the case of not attending for a justified reason, this evaluation will not be counted in the final grade of the seminars.

It will be necessary to pass the written work of the Practicum, as well as the evaluation of the clinical tutor in order to be able to average. In case of failing of the work the student will be able to write it again and deliver it on the period of recovery. In case of failing the evaluation by the clinical tutor, the subject of the Practicum will be suspended and will have to be recovered during the months of June-July. Seminar evaluation is not subject to reassessment.

In case of failing the external internships, the grade of the approved parts for recovery will be saved and only the suspended part will be evaluated. A quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative (suspended, approved, excellent, honours matriculation) qualification system will be used according to RD 1125/2003.

The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason.
