Clinical Placement Expansion and Capacity and the creation of innovative solutions to supporting learning during the Covid-19 pandemic were just some of the themes at the HEE South West Good Practice Event that Emma Böckle & Lucy Stainer presented their work at this week. The virtual conference was a showcase of educational ideas that demonstrated innovations in training our current and future healthcare workforce across the South-West.
Their poster presentation compiled together with Amanda Watson and Desi Tait identified “The creation of a Virtual Locality Placement that enabled student nurses to achieve practice hours during the pandemic”. A 5-minute presentation generated questions and discussion regarding the implementation of the locality placement within the programme and the positive practice learning students had identified from this experience.
The sharing of good practice throughout the day was thought provoking and encouraging in promoting the way forward for multi-professional learning and working across the region. Access to posters and recording are available up to 1 month after conference, and you can view on link below:
