We are aware of the new communication tab on the Nursing Progress Log (NPL).
Following a trial period, as a College, the decision was made not to use this tool for the following reason:
The communication tab does not alert us to the fact a message is sent. As a result of this we would be required to look at every clinical coach and every student linked to this clinical coach to see if a message was sent via the communication tab. This is not practical and we are concerned communication may be missed. We have reported our concerns to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS). We hope you agree with our decision to not, at present, use this function on the NPL.
