Students need to ensure they have arranged a Clinical Supervisor at the start of a previous semester (recommended that this is a colleague or manager at their workplace) who will be responsible for supervising and assessing the clinical hurdle components of the portfolio. They may also be required to assist with and assess the other assessments (audit and academic detailing activities).
