How it Works
Each virtual placement pathway has been designed around a fictional care community, hosting families that have specific health needs based on demographic and ethnographic research. Each activity is aligned to the clinical hub speciality and each family member is aligned to a lived experience. There are three workbooks that align to each cohort year, each set against the PAD learning outcomes. Activities include case studies, research critique, quizzes, presentations, watching video clips delivered by a service users, multi-professional speakers or subject matter experts who are involved in care provision and live streamed simulation. The learner will be allocated a practice placement by the University of Chester and the virtual placement aligned to their hub; medical, surgical, community, critical care, emergency medicine, mental health or learning disabilities. The virtual week will be allocated within their block placement and instructions sent in advance of the start date with a link to enrol onto their allocated pathway. The band 6 PEF will facilitate and monitor student progress throughout the week. A live simulation event is scheduled to run at the end of the virtual learning week which covers all the learning objectives set within the workbooks. Each activity is mapped against the PAD domains and learning outcomes. Progress is awarded certification at the end of the virtual placement to demonstrate completion and access remains open to the learner for the duration of the hub placement, which can be shared with their assessor and supervisors. The placement pathways can be used to support the hub placement for up to 3 years as each cohort stage is reflected in each workbook.
Key Outcomes
• Increased learner capacity within the system
• Flexibility within the hub & spoke placement model
• The opportunity to use virtual practice learning to make up hours, self-isolate, unblock capacity
• The potential for Inter-professional learning
• Provide live stream simulation
• Provision of live stream simulation
• Peer support and virtual co-working
• It is expected that learners gain a deeper understanding of clinical conditions including the assessment and subsequent managementof the patient’s needs , they also gain an insight into the views, experiences and expectations of service users
• Endorse and highlight evidence-based practice
• Promotes team and partnership working
