Abstract

Interest in profiling of student progress has spread in recent years from general education. Nurse educationalists have been searching for alternative methods of monitoring continuous assessment schemes. The advantages, disadvantages and rationale for the introduction of student profiling of clinical progress into a mental health nursing course are discussed. The role, function and support required by clinical supervisors are considered in the operationalisation of a 'Profile Grids' format of student profiling. An example of a student profile document for a psychodynamic nursing elective experience is included, depicting statements of competence set out in profile grids format. Guidelines for completion of documentation and monitoring of the Central Manchester Health Authority scheme are also described.
