This is a technical guide only. For essential overall guidance relevant to clinical skills / portfolio form completion, please refer to the clinical skills handbooks (available on the Blackboard Clinical Skills course) and phase handbooks (available on current Blackboard academic year courses).
Please firstly ensure you have read the following guide to install the app, sync forms, and troubleshoot sync issues; help page guide to the OpenCampus app.
Completing forms
You will only be utilising the tasks tab from the app homepage menu to access all your forms. Please disregard the other icons on the homepage as you will not be using these.
The below example workflow refers to a Year 5 formative form. Clinical skills forms and app-based portfolio forms may vary in content and form fields to complete.
Example form completion
Log in to the OpenCampus app on your mobile / iPad. From the app homepage menu, select the tasks tab.
You will see a list of forms listed by form type. Select the correct type of form from the ‘my tasks’ list.- You will be presented with forms ready to complete. Select ‘show all tasks’ to make any additional hidden forms visible.
- Select a form and select ‘start’.
- You will be presented with several fields to fill in. In the example in the screenshot, you would need to click on the first field to select the type of skill being assessed from a pop-out list. Your selection will populate the first field. Please click on screenshots to enlarge them.
Declare if you have successfully completed a SIMsafe assessment by ticking the appropriate box and also manually enter text into the clinical location field.
Handover your device to the assessor to complete the rest of the form. The next section provides the assessor with essential written guidance on assessor requirements for completing a form. The assessor would then need to fill in several fields, such as if the outcome of the assessment was a pass or fail, or if verbal feedback was provided to you.
The assessor would then need to indicate their role from a pop-out list of roles and select ‘sign form’ to add a signature. They would then need to add their name and their email address and click on submit.
You will see a success message to indicate the form has been successfully submitted.- You must now ensure forms are successfully synced online and you can view them online.
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure any forms are completed / submitted successfully from the app, and successfully appear on OpenCampus online. Please ensure you have read the following guide to install the app and sync forms / troubleshoot sync issues; help page guide to the OpenCampus app.
Additional guidance
-
An assessor must ensure their email address is in the format @hey.nhs.uk,@york.nhs.uk or @nhs.net.
- Students can only complete a summative clinical skills form once they have completed the required number of associated formative forms. Please check these have successfully synced online before attempting a summative.
- Please ensure you have selected the correct form type and placement where required, as this cannot be rectified online and you may have to repeat content.
- Do not use emojis on forms as this will cause issues with syncing.
