As the Deputy will be aware, each undergraduate nursing and midwifery programme is required to have an appeals process in the event that a student fails a part of the programme. This includes an appeals process for clinical placement. The appeals process is designed and agreed by the academic programme board of each Higher Education Institution (HEI). The clinical assessment appeals process is outlined for students in the HEI student handbook, and the process is adhered to using the same principles as an academic assessment. Queries regarding assessment oversight is a matter for the individual HEI.
