The aim of the webinar was to improve the Quality, Quantity and Sustainability of Practice Education within the West Midlands. Providing supportive sessions to first line team managers or those with supervisory responsibilities to improve their level of confidence with facilitating student placements within their team in the current practice context (Covid-19).
The session increased a greater understanding of what is involved when placing a student within their team and how to put this into practice. Furthermore, the session will explore support offered to the Practice Educators (PEs).
During the day, we heard from different perspectives including; How the HEIs select their student and ensure readiness for practice.​ Considerations to be made; to include reasonable adjustments, cultural sensitivity, emotional support requirements. The Student Perspective​. Practice Educator, Team Manager and Learning Organisation.
