Up to now, a student assessment record could only be assigned to a Hub placement regardless of whether the student was scheduled to make one or more shorter visits as Electives or Spokes in that time period. As a result the Elective/ Spoke placement mentors could then only access the document and timesheet whilst the student was logged into their account.
Following some changes by the web developers, it will be possible for all aspects of a student record to be directly linked to each part of the placement, for all future uploads of student placement data. The benefits of this will be:-
To ensure this works seamlessly each university Placement /Practice Offices will need to ensure that when loading their .CSV files it:
The should help to improve the experience for the Spoke/Elective mentor and will help PARE team managers to identify where mentors still need PARE accounts to be created to them.

The University of Chester are hosting two meetings to review the initial phased introduction of the PARE system, from both the NHS and the Academic perspective.
All PEFs and Team managers in the North West are cordially invited to attend.
The dates are :-
The PARE team will be in attendance to address any PARE queries or issues.
To register your interest, and request a parking space, please contact Denise Dixon at d.dixon@chester.ac.uk.
We look forward to meeting up with you at one of these meetings.
The placements that were traditionally associated with the old NHS Western Cheshire Trust have now finally been merged with Cheshire and Wirral Partnership. All managers who previously had dual access to the two Trusts should now be able to access all placements from their PARE account without having to toggle between the two areas.
Paul Barber has now been appointed to the role of OnlinePARE Implementation Lead. Paul has over 40 years experience working as a nurse in the North West
and as a senior lecturer at the University of Chester.
Paul will be working two days per week for the OnlinePARE project. Paul's role will involve linking closely with Trusts/PVIs and universities to ensure a smooth roll-out of the online assessment process throughout the North West.
From early 2017, Paul will be holding regional training sessions for Trust staff and academics.
You can contact Paul by email: paul@onlinepare.net
We are pleased to announce the launch of the OnlinePARE App. The App is developed specifically for students who attend placement areas with limited access to WIFI and 3G/4G signal. The App will work without an active internet connection, while still offering the same functionality as the web version. Any document updates made by a student whilst offline will sync automatically once the student's device is connected the internet. The Android App can be found on the Google Play store. We have plans to develop an iOS version for iPhone & iPad in 2017.
We are in the process of a phased launch of the App. Currently, first year nursing students at Manchester Metropolitan University are using the app, with other universities and courses to follow in early 2017.
We have released a new feature aimed at saving time for university placement offices. Importing CSV files can be time consuming and requires placements name to match ours. Now there is another option, by using our placement ID in place of the trust and placement it will automatically populate those fields.
You can view our placement IDs in the placement manager. For more information about this new feature please email us: info@onlinepare.net
We have added a new section under the User tab to enable PEFs to manage their placement areas more efficiently.
We have extended the number of help guides and videos available to students, trust/PVI staff and universities. We have also made these resources easier to find.
Some of these improvements include:
HEI staff and PEFs now have the ability to print a quarterly report for all placements in their trust/organisation based upon all students that attended a placement their during the 3 months of that quarter.
You can now download any page in your online practice document.
HEI and Trust staff can now download a statistical report to PDF.
On your dashboard, you can now download your full practice document as a whole.
Students are now able to download a certificate of placement as a PDF file which highlights that they have completed an evaluation of their practice learning experience whilst on their hub placement.
The Online Practice Assessment Record for Cheshire and Merseyside Student Nurses has now reached the Alpha stage of development, and will be functionality tested by a small group of students and mentors from Chester University and Edge Hill University before being formally piloted in some areas from September 2015.
The PARE team are also developing multi-professional versions of online practice assessment documentation for professions such as Physiotherapy, Midwifery and Social Work, used in a number of Universities such as UCLan, Salford, and Manchester. The aim is to have the first of these documents online by November 2015, with a rolling programme of development for other groups and universities thereafter.
If you require any further information on the above developments, please contact m.brownsell@chester.ac.uk or the PARE team.
It is sometimes hard to know what to do when students feel something isn't quite right on placement so we have now put together a detailed guide for learners to help students follow a procedure set out by Heath Education North West.
The Evaluation element of the PARE Tool has reached an exciting stage with three North West HEIs implementing the tool. Currently, University of Chester, Edge Hill and Salford University are introducing the tool to their nursing students.
From March 2015 two more North West organisations, namely University of Cumbria and Manchester Metropolitan will each be bringing up to two further cohorts of their nursing students online.
Liverpool John Moores University will be bringing their Nursing students online in May 2015.
We are delighted that two North West HEIs have introduced the Evaluation tool to the following AHP departments:
University of Salford: Introduced a cohort of Physiotherapy students to the tool in January 2015.
Edge Hill University: A cohort of Operating Department Practitioner students are intending to utilise the online evaluation tool during their May 2015 placement.
The PARE team are pleased to offer the following link which provides all academic and Trust staff with access to online training tutorials which cover all functionality within the Evaluation aspect of the tool. We ask that all PEFs and academic leads cascade this link to the staff involved in monitoring student placements to further their awareness and understanding of how to use the online tool.

The PARE team will be facilitating working groups involving North West AHPs from late February - July 2015 in order to bring their students online. Continuous updates from the PARE site will be directed towards Placement areas and the HEI Academic Links for each profession.
