Student Support in Practice Communication Pathway midwifery

Student Support in Practice Communication Pathway
(midwifery) We are conscious that there may be
times when either a student or their mentor need
additional support in order to resolve a
difficulty arising from their work together. The
number of people who are available can be
confusing and this may lead to communication
being lost or ineffectively dealt with. In order
to help you find the best person to advise and
support you, we have designed this communication
pathway flow chart. We strongly advise the
student or the mentor to contact the practice
area Lecturer in Practice in the first place.
This person should be able to deal with your
enquiry but if not, he or she will take further
advice or pass your query to the person who can
deal with it. If the Lecturer in Practice is not
available, then you should contact either the
Link Lecturer or Personal Tutor, depending upon
the nature of your query. September 2005
