This article provides an overview of the time sheets functionality in MyProgress. HYMS Physician Associate students are expected to use the time sheets functionality to record the number of hours spent in clinical practice. You will need to complete time sheets using the app, as they need to be signed off by your educational supervisor. This is not possible if you complete a time sheet in the online system.
Completing a time sheet
- Open the MyProgress app and from the menu select the Timesheets (clock) icon. This will take you to the timesheets page.
- To add a time sheet, select the Placement provider, Placement area and Activity type (Attendance or Absence).
Although it is possible to enter a full week of practice hours, you do not have to. You are encouraged to get them signed off as often as possible, each day if you can.
Select the week in which you are submitting hours. You can scroll left for earlier
weeks.- Use the plus and minus buttons to enter the hours and minutes for each day you attended clinical placement. You are expected to submit to the nearest quarter of an hour.
- Check the total of the hours and minutes, which is displayed for each day in the Total
column. - You now need to hand your device to a clinician/supervisor so they can approve the time you spent in clinical practice.
Note, if you are completing your timesheet at the end of the working day and your supervisor is not present, enter the name and NHS email address of the supervisor with whom you spent the majority of your clinical placement time, and they will receive an email message to verify your hours.
- The clinician approving the timesheet will need to enter their name and NHS email address.
- When the supervisor has approved the hours (and entered their details), submit them to your MyProgress ePAD. You will see a confirmation message at the top of the app confirming the hours were submitted.
Accessing your approved time sheets online
You’ll find all your approved (signed-off) time sheets in the online system. This is where you can keep track of your total number of hours in clinical practice.
