Assessment, Supervision and Support in Clinical Practice, Second Edition addresses the complexity and challenges of learning and assessing in the clinical setting. It is a practice-centred book based on solid theory and evidence for the clinical learning and assessment strategies it provides. Critical discussions focus on how supervision, support and valid assessment nurture the development and achievemeny of competence. The new edition contains up-to-date references to educational theory and recent work on the support of learning and assessment of clinical practice. It places greater emphasis on assessment to achieve 'fitness to practice', how to avoid 'failure to fail', and how to work and learn as a member of the multi-professional team.
