• The difference between the PS & PA roles and the role of the Academic Assessor (AA)
• Accountability concerns- around the use of the term ‘proficiencies’ and recognised lack of available support and training for PS/PA in general practice
• Training and support available for PS/PAs
• Tips on how to support a struggling student- role of the PA/AA, action plans and reasonable adjustments
• Benefits of having a student nurse in practice.
