Sign this petition to support keeping the PAD document, time sheets and 'white book' hand written for current students. Changing the system to online will cause confusion for students who have already been using the hand written system for 1/2 years already. This is unfair for students to be expected to learn the new system half way through their degree course.

There are several things to take into account when introducing online documentation; 1) access to internet or computers in hospitals or out in community, which is a struggle with limited computers in hospitals. 2) having a smartphone/tablet to download the app onto, which not everyone has. 3) most trust policies have a no valuables on site rule, which means we shouldn't really be taking phones/tablets to placement to get stuff signed.

Please leave comments as to why you think the documentation should stay hand written!
