Practice Based Learning (PBL) is a key component of health and care training and so it is essential that PPE provides a supportive and safe learning environment for all students. In addition to clinical educators, non-registered AHP staff can play a significant role in students’ education, teaching them clinical aspects of the role and also for pastoral support.
The aim of this course is to provide non-registered AHP assistants and support staff with training to develop their understanding of student education and to develop their skills in supporting students and educators within their teams. During this course, users will learn about the student journey, from the beginning of their studies to qualification and how practice placements form part of their learning. The resource will also offer an understanding of what is expected from students during placement, how to give feedback to students and educators and how to recognise and support a student who may be struggling. By developing these skills, non-registered staff will be able to contribute to the delivery of Practice Based Learning, improving the quality and capacity of placements.
In this session you will learn about the student journey, what students learn at university compared with practice placement education and the types of placements students may experience.
Learning Objectives:
In this session we will look at competency and professionalism and what these concepts mean to learners, educators and other team members. The session also outlines who regulates the behaviour of students and registered members of staff and what standards of behaviour exist. Finally, we will look at the transition from student to registered practitioner.
Learning Objectives:
For learners, joining a new team can be a daunting experience as they negotiate learning new skills as well as understanding work place cultures and team dynamics. In this session, we will consider how our social interactions can impact on the placement experience and how you can support the learner’s development through providing effective feedback.
Learning Objectives:
Any placement within the health and social care setting may be stressful for a student, and anyone working within the health and social care arena can be at risk of ‘burn out’ and have their resilience tested. In this module we look at what resilience is, and how we can help students improve their resilience and coping strategies more effectively to create a more resilient worker ready for clinical practice.
Learning Objectives:
In this module, there will be a focus on students’ health and wellbeing, support plans and some of the potential difficulties international students may face, including cultural differences and language barriers, to develop an understanding of the wider picture to be able to support the student and wider team.
