Peer QA Panel Practice Educator Summary of Learnings

The fifth Peer QA Panel successfully took place in November. The aim of the group is to actively sample and review a range of PE student placement documents: PLA, Midway and EPRs and deliver both individual and organisational feedback for PEs, OSSs and tutors.

Following this last Panel meeting, we have collated the key learnings, covering both areas for improvement, as well as areas of strength in current practice.

Please see the full report below, covering the key themes and issues raised at this panel: https://www.developingtogetherswtp.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Peer-QA-Panel-Meeting-22.11.22-Summary-of-Learnings-V1.0.docx-1.pdf
