What is Myprogress?

Myprogress is a web-based tool for assessing students in clinical practice. Students can either complete assessments on a computer or a tablet device.

What are the benefits of using Myprogress?

• Increased communication and engagement between personal tutors in the University and students/mentors in practice.
• Student and mentor acquisition of digital literacy skills.
• Wifi or internet access is not required in clinical area. The device is synced when the student returns home or attends the campus.
• Mentors have access to their own portal and student assessment. This provides evidence for their triennial review and NMC re-registration.
• Improved academic practice by precluding the falsification of documentation through email-verified sign-off of assessments.
• Improved record keeping; reports can be extracted from the system providing a range of quality assurance data.
• Attendance sheets can be approved on the device and accessed remotely by the higher education institution, and digitally checked.
• Development of a CPD portfolio.
• A bank of assessment tools / instruments can be developed to prevent repetition for academics and increase in sharing opportunities.
• Tutors can forward 'useful information' to the students in practice via the app.
