City & Guilds now require Quality Assurance Supervisors (QAS) to carry out Direct Observations of Clinical Coaches in the workplace. If all targets are being met by both the student and practice then observations are only required annually. Observations will be carried out during normal annual visits or during placement visits. If your TP is with another Primary Centre, your QAS will liaise with you to arrange a mutually convenient time to visit.
The observation will be based on the QAS observing the Clinical Coach observing a student and giving feedback. The activity can be opening a task (demo/demo back), declaring competency, or as part of the QA scheme. It could also be practice of an OSCE task or completion of a Tutorial.
If you have any questions please contact your QAS.
