You can log experience from up to 2 weeks ago (but your CC has to open the tasks up for you first by showing you and you showing them back). So I'd suggest keeping a diary of things you have come across with your CC and go through the standards (or how ever its called now!) to find out what units to concentrate on first.

Your clinical coach can APL (accredited prior learning) tasks, if she is 100% confident you are competant in the task.

Hi everyone, I'm just about to start the NPL (hopefully when my uni gets around to giving me the log in details!) Im just wondering if i can post date things? My practice is really busy so I've done a load of things that Im sure would be good to go on the NPL,but is that allowed? Im the first student my clinical coach has had so we are both very new to it! It has to be better than the old system, my first year portfolio was such a headache!

thanks

do any of you feel that the npl seems a bit to easy (for us the coaches) , i'm so used the the piles of work for the nvq that i keep thinking there has to be a catch somewhere!

I think that it leaves us clinical coaches with a bit more time, to do the importants stuff, like practically training our students and doing tutorials. That has to be a good thing

I have hopefully bypassed the NPL and will qual at some point in 2011

My colleagues observations seen to be that it is much easier to log cases, but that cases you are allowed to log off, depend on what unit you have finished at college - so you might have a really interesting exotic ga case during week 29 of your training, but since you didnt finish ga at college until week 30, then you can't be signed off

I have NO experience of the NPL apart from staff room hearsay, but I would love to be able to understand it better, and hopefully, if I ever qualify, help svn's the way my colleagues have helped me!

Sorry - my post hasn't been very helpful!

i use it for client/pet reference numbers as its an optional reflective account. no need to write an essay on the task.

The notes are an optional. I tend to use it to say things like 'the candidate does this often in practice' or include little details like what drug, product, case ref etc.
