Distributional analysis of assessors' professional roles by placement cohort and year group, shown in Fig. 3. The comparison names secondary care and primary care as the two sides, with greater role diversity in secondary care; in primary placement students predominantly get skills signed off by GPs.
"Across all three year groups, there is more diversity in professional roles of chosen assessors in secondary care placements compared to primary care."
