All student forms can be completed in the ePAD website or the mobile app (if you are using it). This section covers working with forms using the ePAD website.
Overview
The forms in your ePAD can be categorised as either 'Student' forms, i.e., those that are your responsibility to complete (usually with your Practice Assessor or Supervisor as applicable), or those that can only be completed by other roles, e.g., your Practice Assessor or Academic Assessor.
Student forms
These are forms for recording your practice learning progress. Some of these are mandatory for each placement; some are mandatory for the Part; and some are optional and should be completed when the opportunity arises
Student forms appear with a 'Complete new' button: 
Where you are not able to complete a form, you will see 'Available to other roles':
When you hover over the message the roles that can complete the form are listed:
Finding a form
All forms can be located via the tabs in the placement page:
All forms are listed in the 'Overview' tab and can be selected from there. Each of the other tabs will list forms only appropriate to that section.
Form deadlines
Forms that need to be completed at a certain time have a deadline date that is displayed next to the form name. Use the date as a guide to schedule time with your Practice Assessor or Supervisor so that your practice assessment documentation is completed in a timely way.
Deadline dates in the ePAD use a colour coded system to help users keep track of when forms should ideally be completed by. If a deadline date is set but not yet reached, it will display in grey text. The closer you approach a deadline date, the text will appear in amber. And if a deadline date has been met or passed and the form hasn't been completed then it will be in red text.
Deadlines are intended to help you keep on track with your practice assessment documentation and make the most of the practice learning experience. There is no consequence if you miss a deadline but keep in mind that forms need to be completed before leaving a placement. If you are struggling to get forms completed, please contact your personal tutor or course leader.
Completing a form
Find the form you wish to complete. Make sure you understand the approval (sign-off) requirement for the form (e.g., if you need to work it through with your Practice Assessor or Supervisor).
Select Complete new. This will open a blank form.
When you make any amendments to the form, the 'Saved' button will change to 'Save changes' to indicate there are changes to be saved.
After approximately 15 seconds the form will automatically save any changes made to the form if it remains inactive. This saves the form in Draft mode:
Complete the form. How you do this depends on the format of the questions: e.g., you may need to select from a drop-down list, complete a check list, or type into a text box. If you need to exit the form, click the 'Save & close' button to save your changes before leaving.
When you have completed the form review it carefully as it cannot be changed once submitted.
When you are happy with the responses you have made in the form, select the Submit button:
If the form requires approval, you will not be able to submit the form without completing the sign off details section. Ask the Practice Assessor or Supervisor (as applicable) to complete the sign-off fields at the bottom of the page using their full name and work email address. [This is the equivalent of their signature on a paper form]
WARNING: You must not approve a form on behalf of a Practice Assessor or Supervisor without their presence or express permission.
Once your Practice Assessor or Supervisor has signed the form, you can click the Submit button. The completed response will then appear below the form title. Initially the completed form will read 'Completed by' alongside the name of the user who completed the form. After a few moments, this will change to 'Approved by' with the name of the person who signed off the form.
Every submitted form is date/time stamped.
