If i use the capability L1 of let’s say Collaborative working, do i then have to state ways of how I would reach L2, like what I would need to do to reach the next level?
Hi, you don't have to do an action plan but of course you can refer in your essay to how you intend to develop this area of your knowledge, practice or skills

Hi, I've just submitted my essay and  one of my NMC references has come back as UK-essays, this is something we are always told to stay away from so if we have similar sentences in our work then we should find another reference as it looks like we have used these sites however I don't have that its just the reference do you mean in your reference list or do you mean the APA ref in your essay  itself highlighted as I obviously haven't used the site meaning I think that UK-essays has also reference the same NMC document at some point. Im wanting to know if i'm okay to still use this NMC reference as it fits really well within my work.
Thanks
Hi , if this has come back as a direct match to a paraphrase or sentence used in your essay I would change it. However if you are just talking about the reference itself  ie Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC, 2018).or in the reference list Nursing & Midwifery Council. (2018). The code: Professional standards of practice and behaviour for nurses, midwives and nursing associates. London: Nursing & Midwifery Council. thats OK
Rachel

Hi,

Nothing within my text is highlighted so the section I have paraphrased from the NMC isn't highlighted. I just noticed as I clicked through the ones it had pulled out and the reference itself has come up as UKessays. So with it just being the reference itself that has come up I would be ok to use this as a reference still as non of the in body text is highlighted?

thanks

# data[].attributes.body
I was just wondering am i allowed to used words like "i did this then this, I think this went well because of this etc throughout my assignment?"

Guidance, support and feedback from your facilitator: you can ask your group facilitator to look at and provide feedback on 10% of your work (this equates to 150 words for your reflective assignment) This can be on whatever aspect of the essay you choose e.g. you might ask them to look at a plan, or ask for feedback on your overall idea, you can ask them to look at a draft paragraph and give you feedback on the quality of your reflective writing, or you can ask for feedback and guidance on using evidence, theory, and research to support your reflective writing

For the assignment, is there certain ways in which we need to lay it out, such as a certain size text or text type, double spacing after full stops and more? It isn't mentioned on the brief that's all. In addition, I emailed a draft to my facilitator a while ago and have not heard back, is there someone else I can email for them to look at it?
Hi, this is all on the module site under the assessment tab - how to structure your essay. Re your facilitator if its more than 5 working days email them again or ask them today in the webinar about receiving feedback on your draft. Remember you can only ask for feedback on 10% ie 150 words

Hi
I was just wandering how I would incorporate the ICF self assessment. Would the following be sufficient or would it be best to expand further.
" In reference to the ICF self assessment I would recognise that I have demonstrated the following capability, Collaborative learning CW2 L1. You would need to relate this to evidence on the assessment as to how you have met this capability and then ref as you suggest ie (CW2:L2)
Is this ok or actually mentioning the Objective. As well as this is it ok to use the abbreviations after using the full word once ie, collaborative working as CW.??
Hi yes thats fine
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Do i have to say i am assessing myself against CAEP1: L1 the whole way through for each capability or will the marker know which capability i am assessing myself against.
You would need to evidence in your reflection how you met the capability and then ref within the body of the work Consult your marker for more specific advice
how do i demonstrate that i have used the ICF.
within your assignment through your reference to the ICF
Hi, please access the detailed guidance about how to use the ICF in your assignment on the module site under the assessment tab

I am a bit confused on Domain 2  CAEP2
what information do I need to writRachel e about please.
Hi , you need to first identified which capability within that domain you feel you have met and use your reflection to evidence this.  So for example CAEP1: L1 Is aware of the need to respect diversity in service provision and can recognise how this is informed by non-judgemental anti-discriminatory practice.
So use your reflection then to evidence your assessment against this capability eg how have you demonstrated that you understand the importance of a person centred approach in your practice
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Do l write, On Domain 1, l am assessing myself on (CW1:L2) or l am reflecting myself on (CW1:L2)  which one is the correct wording to be used.

or i m assessing myself against...

What does it mean by policy and law drive changes? Does domain 3 mean like laws and policies that we follow in the trust to provide best outcomes on healthcare. What does it mean by what are the drivers for collaborative practice in profession?
Hi, please assess the Ethics and Law integrated and profession specific materials on the module site.
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Can domain 3 Organisational competence be explained in more detail as i do not understand what it is asking for
kind regards
Hi, You need to choose a capability from this domain to assess yourself against so for example, OC1: L1  Is aware that person focused services, changing role boundaries and future service provision is influenced by policy and practice.
How would you evidence that you have reached this level? What policy and law drive changes in practice, what are the drivers for collaborative practice in your profession?
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
For domain 4, reflection, can we just introduce reflective practice in the introduction and link this to the ICF or do we need to do a full paragraph on the domain of reflective practice?
Hi as the brief says you need to assess yourself against this domain and provide evidence within your reflection of how you have met it, so this may be that, for example,  R1:L1 Participates in the processes of reflection to determine own learning needs. You may evidence you have met this capability through the process of using reflection in your essay to identify current level of capability and future learning needs
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
hi, where can i find the referencing for the ICF document we are using please
Hello its on the module site under the ICF tab
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Hey, I have a few questions about the assignment, 1) how do we demonstrate that we have used the ICF in our assignment?
By assessing yourself against the capabilities and evidencing this in your reflection
2) What does critically evaluate/ analysis mean? Does it mean explaining what went well, what did not go well and why using theory, wide research etc?
https://libguides.shu.ac.uk/criticalwriting please access this online learning tool to support your understanding of critical writing
I don't understand what it means by domain 3 organisational competence, can this be explained please as I have no idea what it is asking for.
Read the explanation of the organisational competence domain in the ICF framework. You will then need to choose a capability from this domain to assess yourself against so for example, OC1: L1  Is aware that person focused services, changing role boundaries and future service provision is influenced by policy and practice.
How would you evidence that you have reached this level? What policy and law drive changes in practice, what are the drivers for collaborative practice in your profession?
Do we have to explain the capabilities we are choosing and then speak about the case studies that reflect back to them, or do we just go into explaining about our case studies and use theory, research etc and not explain the domains and capabilities as the markers will know which capability we have chose etc?
You are using reflection ie examples from your experiences to support your assessment against the capabilities, please refer to the guidance on the module site and consult your facilitator marker for further support - I would suggest that you develop a plan of how you intend to tackle the assignment and then ask your facilitator for feedback to make sure you are heading in the right direction
Do we have to reference the ICF the whole way through as in whenever we start a new case study about meeting a certain capability etc?
Please read the detailed guidance on the module site as to how to use the ICF in your assignment
So sorry for all the questions, Hoping to hear a reply from you, Thank you

Hi, do we have to write out a full reflection of an experience using Gibbs reflection cycle? Or can we just discuss a reflection we’ve done before and analyse what we’ve learnt from it? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have been told that if we use the Gibbs reflective cycle we do not do the reflection domain at the end but I have and I'm unsure weather or not I have done it wrong, and if we are not supposed to do that how would we mentioned that it does not need to be done
Hard for me to answer that as I don't know who you mean when you say "I have been told"  My advice would be to ask your your group facilitator

In the assessment brief it states 'You will be expected to use evidence, theory, and research to support your work ' - what sort of evidence and research should we be using?  For example if we talk about the importance of effective communication should we then include a article or study that talks about effective communication?
Hi
All academic work should be supported with reference to evidence theory, research and also law, policy , codes of practice etc. As you say, if you are critically reflecting upon your communication skills in relation to the experience you are discussing you must then support this with reference to relevant theory or research etc The guide below will help you with this

Make sure to include the ICF in your reference list

Good afternoon, is it possible to use an appendix to provide details of my interaction(s). I am conscious of my word count and want to ensure I am using my words to critically analyse rather than be descriptive.
Thanks in advance!
Hello
yes its fine to use appendices, this will not be marked so should only be used for any additional information which provides useful context or background material to the main work (use sparingly)
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
When writing about the domain, do we need to write it out fully with the citation at the end? So for example, 'Domain Four: Reflection: Capability R1: L1 – participates in the processes of reflection to determine own learning needs (R:L1)'. Or could we write, 'Domain 4, R1:L1'?
hi, just use the reference as writing it out in full will impact on your word count and wont add value so as you say just put in brackets in the main body of your work so Domain Four Reflection: Capability one Level  One would be (R1:L1)
Make sure to include the ICF in your reference list
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Can we use and reference the ICF model given to us on blackboard or do we need to find different supporting evidence for each of the domains?
Hi, you need to use the ICF to assess yourself against the capabilities as instructed in the assignment brief BUT you must integrate research, theories and supporting evidence to support your work throughout. The ICF itself is not evidence, it is a self assessment framework
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body

HI
when writing about the reflections are we saying
what we did or what the professions did and what we saw them do?
Hi, you are critically reflecting on your experience and learning. Please engage with the resources to support reflective writing on the module site and the guide below   https://libguides.shu.ac.uk/reflectivewriting Reflective Writing Guide
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
what are the capabilities?
thanks :)
The capabilities are contained in the Inter Professional Capability Framework (ICF). There are 4 domains in the ICF

Domain One: Collaborative Working

Domain Two: Cultural Awareness and Ethical Practice

Domain Three: Organisation Competence

Domain Four: Reflection

There are a number of capabilities within each domain. You should choose one capability from each domain: for example if you choose Domain one – you will see there are 4 capabilities: CW1, CW2, CW3,and CW4. Within each of these capabilities you will see a table with level 1, level 2 and level 3.  Choose one capability so for example CW1 Level 2: In partnership with people who use services, participates in some aspects of the processes involved in implementing an integrated action plan. Then use your critical reflection to identify how you have met this capability so for example you might talk about how in your placement you worked with a service user group to implement a new service/resources. One reflection may meet more than one capability so bear this in mind as you don’t necessarily have to use four different experiences. Also we are interested mainly in the analysis, evaluation and learning so we do not want you to write lots of description but to do want you to focus on critical evaluation and analysis and how this links to your development as a collaborative practitioner
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Hi,
Is it acceptable to write in the first person during the introduction, or should we be saying "the author" rather than "I". I am aware that the body of the assignment will have to be written in the first-person as it is a reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
Hello, how many reflections do we have to make. is it one for each part of the ICF? Thanks.
Hello, there is already guidance about this on the module site  under the assessment tb but in a nutshell one reflection may meet one or more of the capabilities so you will need to consider this in depth and also think about quantity of the reflective writing rather than quantity- so focus on the analysis and learning and how this links to your self assessment
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Getting a bit confused, where do l include the strengths and weakness is it on each domain e.g if i'm talking about CW2: L3 do i mention my strengths on that or the whole assignment.
Hi, strengths  and weaknesses will be embedded throughout you work as you will be using self assessment to identify and discuss how you have evidenced the capability and you will be thinking about how you could further support your development in this area ie adopting a critical approach so not just saying I'm good at this but acknowledging what you might do differently, how you could further develop this area
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
hi roughly how many references are you looking for?
Hello I don't think its helpful to give a number regarding how many references to use, its perhaps more helpful to think that at level 5 all key points made should be supported by theory and research and so in tens of your reflection you should be aiming to integrate theory and research throughout the work. Please talk to your facilitator about this also
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
When referencing the ICF, do we cite it too? So for example for Domain Two: Cultural Awareness and Ethical Practice: Capability CAEP1: L1, would we write it as this??
Hi, in the main body this would be referenced as (CAEP:L1) Include the ICF in your reference list
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Hello,

I am struggling with the structure of this assignment. Would it be okay to provide a small paragraph stating my experience so that I can refer back to it when writing my domains within the main body instead of repeating myself.
Thank you,
Amelia
Hi Amelia, how you structure the work is up to you (but do follow academic convention in introduction, main body and conclusion)  BUT as a critical reflection  in the main body of your work  you need to focus on analysis, evaluation and learning from the experience and integrate theories and evidence to support this and to evidence  how your experience supports you meeting the ICF capabilities. You can use appendices which are not counted in the word count or marked to provide context and then in the main body refer the reader to , for example, appendix one
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Hi,
Would evidencing the example be stating which domain and level I have achieved and then reflecting what went well and what I will be doing to improve be the reflection domain?
Hello, it is that and also demonstrating your ability to link theory into practice through critical reflection
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
If you are going to use the appendix go give a bit more information/description of your experience how do you then bring that into your assignment?
Hi, your appendix is not marked and so should only be used to provide context or background so if you are using an appendices in you reflective assignment this may offer some description in relation to the situation you are reflecting on so you can focus on the analysis, learning and evaluation of the experience in the main body of the work (ie that which is marked) You would refer to this in your essay, for example, as see appendix one
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Would you suggest using the same experience to reflect on throughout the entire assignment? For example, just using our time in placement to assess all the capabilities? Or would it be okay to include several different experiences such as university, work, placements, depending on which capability we are evaluating ourselves against? Hope this makes sense, thank you!
Francesca
Its entirely up to you Francesca
I would focus on the quality of the reflective writing (not quantity) and on ensuring that you are evidencing through your reflections how you have met the ICF capabilities
Rachel

Hello, I am in the process of beginning my assignment, i already have a plan of what to write for each of the domains and what I am going to reflect on from placement. My question is regarding how to set the assignment out. Do we write a reflection and then talk about the domains or do we write about the domains and reflect within these? I hope this makes sense?
Thank you :)
Hello, we want you to use your reflections to evidence the domains so for example you might reflect on an experience  where you were undertaking an assessment with someone and discussing with them their needs using a person centred approach and this may evidence CW2:L2 "Demonstrates developing skills of interpersonal communication with people who use services and their support networks where appropriate" so you would reference this in your assignment
If you read the guidance in the ICF this will help

As in the assignment we are meant to choose one capability from each domain, does that mean 4 capabilities need to be discussed and reflected upon at some point in the assignment? For example, could we do 1-2 reflections but cover 4 capabilities in the reflections? Many thanks

HI Rachel, is it acceptable to put case studies in appendix so we can refer to them and not lose words? Do you want the ICF in appendix also? How would we refer to it in the essay? For example if I am reflecting on Collaborative Working Capability 1, how would you want that to be referenced? Do you want the action plan for how we will get to the next level of the ICF as a separate table or as part of the essay? 
Thanks. Yosh
Hi Yosh 
re appendices: an appendix should only be used for information that is not essential to your work (as it is not marked) ,but which could provide some useful context or background information so you could include a brief summary of a case study but you should avoid putting large amounts of work in your appendices. 
Reference the ICF  in your essay as follows eg Collaborative Working Capability 1 Level 2 would be referenced as  ( CW1:L2)
Include the ICF in your reference list at the end

ach domain is before talking about which areas and domains meet me personally? or am i suppose to write about it as though the reader is already aware of what the ICF is? many thanks
hi, no you don't need to explain what the ICF is just reference it in your essay

Evening,
Could I do a action plan in a appendix relating to the ICF instead of incorporating this into my assignment? How I have met each capability. I will still focus the essay around the domains but use the action to address the ICF?
Thank you
Hi  you can if you want to but you don't have to do an action plan. An action plan is a plan to demonstrate what you will do to work towards and meet the next level and we are not asking you to do this in this assignment. What we want you to do is identify which capabilities you have already met and use your reflection(s) to provide evidence to support this self assessment

HI Rachel, is it acceptable to put case studies in appendix so we can refer to them and not lose words? Do you want the ICF in appendix also? How would we refer to it in the essay? For example if I am reflecting on Collaborative Working Capability 1, how would you want that to be referenced? Do you want the action plan for how we will get to the next level of the ICF as a separate table or as part of the essay?
Thanks. Yosh
Hi Yosh
re appendices: an appendix should only be used for information that is not essential to your work (as it is not marked) ,but which could provide some useful context or background information so you could include a brief summary of a case study but you should avoid putting large amounts of work in your appendices.
Reference the ICF  in your essay as follows eg Collaborative Working Capability 1 Level 2 would be referenced as  ( CW1:L2)
Include the ICF in your reference list at the end
Rachel

roughly, how many words would you suggest for the
intro main body and conclusion? Thanks :)
its a 1500 word essay so a good rule of thumb (but not set in stone) is around 10% for intro and conclusion

Hello,
I can seem to find the inter professional capability framework on the library gateway. I shall I reference this?
The ICF is on the module site . You ca ref in the main body of the essay as follows eg Collaborative Working Capability One Level One as (CW1:L1)
In the ref list ref as  Sheffield Hallam University (2014) Interprofessional Capability Framework Mini Guide
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
How do I know what level I am when using the ICF framework? And how would I prove this?
Hi, you would have to assess yourself against the domains of the ICF and if you read it it explains how to do this.  The evidence to support your assessment is from your reflection so for example if you  think you have met CW2 L2 "Demonstrates developing skills of interpersonal communication with people who use services and their support networks where appropriate"  you would need to use your reflection to evidence how you have met this

Do we have to cite and reference our pebblepad reflections since we are using them within our assignment?
Hello, Im not sure what you mean? If you are writing a reflective essay you will be writing the reflection in the actual assignment not citing it?

I have emailed you regarding this assignment as i am so confused on the lay out could you please respond asap thank you
hello ive responded to all my emails so check your inbox. Also have you had a look at all the guidance on the module site as this might be really helpful

If I haven't been on placement yet can I reflect on previous work experience?
hello thats been covered today in the webinars (if you didn't attend you will be able to access the recording) and is also covered on the module site under the assessment tab
Rachel

# data[].attributes.headline
Can we refer to multiple placement experiences to meet the ICF domains or does in need to be one experience which meets all of the domains? Thanks :)

Also my placement is in an area where there isn't much cultural diversity,  can I use this as an area for reflection? Because I'm not exposed to it in practice I have little experience of it?
Hello
Its really up to you but what I would say is go for quality not quantity ie focus on the analysis and evaluation of your learning through your experience, integrate theory and research to support this and link to your self assessment against the ICF
Regarding your second point I would say that we work and live in a culturally diverse world - so perhaps think more critically about how culturally sensitive health and social care services and your own practice is?

How do I find out who my marker is?
Your marker is your group facilitator

I was just wondering if I am suppose to use the ICF framework in a way that I copy and paste the table with the domains into my assessment or just explain what the ICF is and reference what it is rather than having the actual table in the assignment?
many thanks
Hi, you don't need to put the ICF into your assignment but if you do I would put it in the appendices so it doesn't affect your word count
Rachel

I would like to know if I can be 10% over on my assignment of 1500  words .
Hi, yes the 10% rule applies

In the ICF ,it's mentioning about the members of the community practice who are these? Are they members of the MDT i am bit confused.

thanks
There is no absolute rule here but standard advice is to use a plain font e.g. Times New Roman or Arial suggested size is 12 for the text and 14 for headings. If in doubt check with the facilitator for your group

Im slightly confused as to what I'm suppose to be doing for the 1500 reflective essay. My understanding is I need to use the ICF and mark myself against the levels of the domains and use real life practice to reflect on, but where does the case study come into it? Is the case study only for the poster? Ive only been able to attend the induction lecture for this module as I started placement the week after we started so I feel I'm constantly playing catch up but I'm struggling to understand exactly what it is I'm suppose to include.

Hello, there is lots of guidance on the mod site under the assessment tab about how to use the ICF in your assignment,  what you can reflect upon, you can use the case study but only in the sense of reflecting upon the collaborative work you have undertaken with your peers on the CS. This is a distance learning module and all the materials, webinars etc are on the mod site so you can catch up with anything you have missed. We recognise that students are in different stages and undertaking different activities ie some on placement etc so the module is designed for you to collaborate with your group using Google Communities and work through the learning materials and the case study online with your peers. Next weeks webinar will be focused on the reflective assignment so should help clarify some of your questions
Please do take some time to read through all the guidance and watch the recorded power points which tell you all you need to know abut the assessment tasks

If our reflection only covers two or three of the ICF domains, how will we integrate the other domains into the assessment. Shall i just talk about them in general and evaluate on my experiences  or would i need to do a second small reflection? Thank you.
Hi as the brief says you should
choose at least one capability from each domain and provide evidence to demonstrate how you have met this capability. So the reflection(s) you choose to discuss will provide evidence for the capabilities you choose, we will be covering this in more detail in the webinars next Tuesday
Rachel

I was just wondering whether you thought it would be appropriate to mention the effects of the corona virus in this assessment?
for example " I have gained experience on placement by doing XY and Z however due to the current pandemic experience was cut short" and go on to talk about how this has effected me both in a positive and negative and the steps Ill take to make sure I am still progressing despite the circumstances?
Many thanks
yes absolutely - you could talk about the challenges, the impact, on you, the people you work with, the collaborative process, what you have learnt how this relates to evidence and research for example research on impact on vulnerable groups etc
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Can we abbreviate the domains for example can we write CAEP in our essay as long as the first time we write this it is in full e.g. cultural awareness and ethical practice (CAEP) ?
Yes thats fine
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
for the cultural awareness domain could you give an example of what I might reflect on? I've not dealt with any patients where their culture/religion has had any effect on their care, does it have to be along those lines?
"The collaborative worker maintains and develops a critical understanding of the requirements of non-judgemental and anti-discriminatory practice in order to contribute to the delivery of culturally appropriate and person centred services". We all work in a culturally diverse world - think more critically about how culturally sensitive health and social care services and your own practice is?

Hi, I just wanted to clarify on what is meant by evidence and theories that are we are supposed to reference, because I don't see how I would apply any academic theories or evidence to my experiences. Would these theories be ones like the social learning theory? Will we be learning about more of these academic theories as we progress in this module? Cheers
Hello reflective writing is a way of processing your experiences to identify and support your learning. To evidence this learning you should integrate theories, evidence and research, so for example if you are talking about an experience where you were communicating with a service user identify important aspects of this experience and appropriate theories to underpin and support your reflection
As you suggest theories such as social learning theory may be relevant if they fit with the experience you are reflecting upon  You will have already covered many theories throughout your time at SHU so draw on these and also use your reading and research to support  your understanding and application of academic theories
The integrated/uni professional learning materials on the module site provide you with a rich source of theories, evidence and research

LO3 states Using real life case studies so does this mean we use our case study in the assignment?
Hello
Look on the module site under the assessment tab to see advice and guidance on what experiences etc you can use to reflect upon in your assignment
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
it says to use Gibbs model of reflection but when looking into this the last stage of the model is an action plan but with 1500 words do we have to do the action plan?
You can use a model of reflection for structure BUT we are not asking for an action plan so your focus will be on the analysis and evaluation of your learning
Please watch the power point guidance and read the assessment brief for clarification
Rachel

# data[].attributes.body
Do we need to reference the ICF within the assignment? If so, what would it come under? And would it count if it is from 6 years ago?
The ICF is a self assessment tool so you will be using this to assess your CURRENT level of capability. There is guidance on the module site under the assessment tab as to how to use the ICF in tour assignment

I know our group facilitators are marking our assignments, but my main group facilitator is Claire Hastings, but Jo Bailey takes the zoom calls, who do I email with questions regarding the assignment? Or does that not matter?
They are co facilitating, the person who is the lead for your group will mark your work. If you email me your name i will have a look what group you are in

Is there a cover sheet for the assignment? I can't seem to find one. Thanks
You can download a cover sheet from your assessment scheduler

I still can't seem to find the cover sheet; what do you mean by assessment scheduler?
Your assessment Scheduler is where all your assessment information is. NB: I have added a from sheet into the assessment area for you to use
