This website includes information about a government funded project that aims to enhance the quality of student experiences whilst on practice, i.e. work-based placements. A key part is a resource section containing materials that can be used by anyone involved in many aspects of practice based student supervision, including preparation and support. These resources were either commissioned by the project or externally sourced web materials. These materials have been peer reviewed and are freely available for anyone to use in enhancing the nature of practice education.
In addition, the materials have been developed for use in health care student placements, but can often be used for other non health care disciplines.
The materials contained in this website often refer to the 'practice educator'. This is the identified practitioner in the practice placement who facilitates the student learning, face to face on a daily basis and generally has responsibility for the formative and/or summative assessment of competence.
A number of workshops are being hosted throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland to provide an opportunity for participants to review the content of the aforementioned resources section and influence future development of these materials.
Workshop details are as follows
UNIVERSITY OF NORTHUMBRIA - 16 SEPTEMBER 2005
GLASGOW CALEDONIAN UNIVERSITY - 13 OCTOBER 2005
