| Content: | There are two parts to the end-point assessment. The first is a demonstration of practice and the second is a professional discussion
For Demonstration of Practice: Apprentices will be taken through four consecutive stations. These stations allow the students to demonstrate clinical competence in psychological practice and enable them to demonstrate competence in the knowledge, skills and behaviour assigned to this method. The student will be required to complete the following stations: Governance and Practice: Communication, ethical practice and compliance with employers and external bodies' policy. Assessment & Risk: Reviewing clinical data, identifying and developing a risk management plan. Psychological Formulation: Making sense of a range of clinical and other information and integrating this to form a coherent understanding to guide treatment or service intervention. Evidence-Based Interventions: Exercising judgement in how to develop effective interventions making best of applied research. For Professional Discussion, the student will be required to: Complete and submit a portfolio of clinical experience (PCE) that is anonymised for all identifying clinical information. Within the portfolio of clinical experience (PCE) evidence must relate to the knowledge, skills and behaviour that must be evidenced during the Professional Discussion. The portfolio of clinical experience (PCE) is the basis for the Professional Discussion between the student and the independent assessor. The apprentice will draw upon the PCE to support their answers. The PCE itself is not assessed. The PCE consists of: Twelve pieces of evidence including data on clinical activity including clinical cases, reports and formulations Evaluation of clinical competence forms including clinical supervisor feedback In service research proposal submitted as part of Master's research Reflection on learning at different time points from across the apprenticeship There are two assessment parts to the EPA. Apprentices must pass each assessment element of the EPA in order to gain a pass. Any fail in any assessment element of the EPA results in a fail for the EPA as a whole.
