Practice education placements 1 offers a first exposure, for many students, to a clinical environment and opportunity for practice learning as a student physiotherapist on the Physiotherapy BSc programme.
It is recognised, that for many individuals, the first clinical placement can be a challenging experience, the placement will be preceded by placement preparation, which will include opportunities for students to appreciate responsibilities associated with clinical practice and to contextualise much of the learning from the programme.
Placement Preparation will also include an introduction to the ‘Time for Dementia’ initiative.
The placement will be marked using the CPAF L4 assessment tool and feedback provided to inform and support ongoing learning and future clinical placements.
