This guidance is designed for use in all audited practice learning environments across Scotland. It aims to describe the process for dealing with instances of poor care witnessed by nursing or midwifery students while on practice. In this case, poor care refers to situations in which one perceives care as inadequate, below an acceptable standard, abusive, or neglectful, based on the premise that one should never accept poor care.

These flowcharts illustrate guidance for student nurses and midwives, as well as PS / PAs, on dealing with concerns, although not care concerns, we come across in Practice Learning Environments.
