This book describes an evaluation of the clinical facilitators who
supervise trainee nurses on clinical placement. This is work at the
interface between higher education and employment. The literature
on university-community collaboration is reviewed to establish the
context. The evaluation looked at outcomes, process and stakeholder
perspectives. Outcome measures proved difficult to identify. The
process was explored through in-depth interviews with the twelve
clinical facilitators. This established a two dimensional model of
clinical facilitation. The views of stakeholders were sought using
interviews and focus groups and a questionnaire for each group.
This established the perceived utility of supervisory teaching
methods; the relative value of the persons encountered by students
and the extent to which the clinical facilitators had met their
objectives. Clinical facilitators were ranked second most useful on
placement behind the designated assessor mentor but ahead of the
university link tutor. The most favored method was demonstration of
a skill by an expert. The evaluation concluded with twelve
recommendations for future practice.
