Clinical practice and placement support: supporting learning in practice

The setting up of this successful unit resulted from the clear identification of three key elements which enables the CPPSU to support learning in practice. These elements are adequate mentor support, developing and monitoring the clinical learning environment and increased collaboration between the HEI and service providers in the allocation of students to appropriate practice placement areas. Each of these will be explored in depth in order to give an overview of how the CPPSU delivers its remit.
