Welcome to the Health and Social Care Placement Learning Hub
Health and Social Care placements are an essential part of professional education, enabling students to apply their learning in real practice environments while developing the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours required for their chosen profession.
This website has been designed to support both students undertaking placements and employers and placement providers who play a vital role in supporting practice based learning. Whether you are preparing for a placement, supervising a student, or looking for information about placement requirements, you will find relevant guidance and resources through this site.
For Students
If you are a student, you'll find information to help you prepare for placement, understand placement requirements and expectations, access support during your placement experience, and locate profession-specific guidance and resources.
Our aim is to help you make the most of your placement learning experience and ensure you know where to find support, information and guidance when you need it. Please explore the site: read the guidance in the Policy Library, find general information about placement learning expectations and preparation and student support from the Placement Information section and find information specific to your profession and course in the Profession Information section. You can find contact details for key university staff through the Contact Us link if you need advice.
For Employers and Placement Providers
If you are an employer or placement provider, you'll find information about working with us to support student placements, together with resources and guidance to assist placement learning within your organisation. Please visit the relevant Profession Information section.
We value the contribution that placement providers make to the education of future health and social care professionals and are committed to working in partnership to support high-quality placement learning experiences.
Working in Partnership
Effective placement learning relies on strong collaboration between students, placement providers and the University. This website brings together information and resources to support everyone involved in the placement journey and promote positive learning experiences for our students and partners.
