Guidance and resources for our clinical placement partners in Nursing, Midwifery, Speech & Language Therapy and Radiography
Practice Education (Nursing & Midwifery)
Placement experiences constitutes 50% of each Nursing student's programme and 60% of each Midwifery student's programme. They are a vital factor in promoting understanding and development of professional craft knowledge or 'finger tip knowledge'. They help students become fit for practice, fit for purpose and fit for award by the time they complete their programme.
Each placement provides students with educational opportunities to develop their professional craft knowledge through:
- observing good practice
- engaging in good practice alongside a mentor and other practitioners
- practising under the more distant supervision of a mentor or other practitioner.
However, learning professional craft knowledge is not achieved through observation and practice alone; students also have time to investigate their practice, to study their patients/clients and their carers, to discuss their learning with experienced colleagues and to formulate and reformulate their understanding through writing, discussion and reading.
- Student Placement Approval (NMC Educational audit form) and information/nomination forms for the Practice Excellence Awards
- Supervising and Assessing in Healthcare practice (online) - This online module provides you with an opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding essential for supervising and assessing students (learners) as they acquire professional knowledge, attitudes and skills in the workplace. This module prepares you for the role of practice assessor. It can be studied with and without academic credit, according to your study and workforce needs.
