Challenges
A new way of working in primary care, virtual and telephone consultations. This has reduced the availability for students to have direct physical placements and engage with a wider experience of patient care.
COVID-19 restrictions and national guidance.
Changes in NMC standards for clinical assessment of learning environments and requirements of assessing and supervision of students.
Increased demand for learning placements from other clinical specialities e.g. Trainee Nursing Associates, Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme roles and Advanced Clinical Practitioners. There are two practices that have in house Trainee Nursing Associates so have closed to the wider acceptance of pre-registration students.
