Placements across 4 Pillars of Practice
Practice Based Learning involves a range of learning opportunities to support the student’s development where students apply and consolidate their learning. Such opportunities bring together academic theory, workplace practices and knowledge around culture of an organisation that accelerates their skills and development towards competences required for professional registration (HEE 2020).

This project created a centralised and collaborative approach to practice education since 2022. It was a joint project between the education quality team at NHS England South East, the Allied Health Professions (AHP) faculty at the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care board (ICB), and a collaborative group of universities across the South of England.
Our vision is to develop a digital space to house learning opportunities and training, and to support professionals who support learners in practice.
The purpose of the practice education workspace is to help foster collaboration between universities to work together and co-agree on practice education and associated opportunities. Currently we have a focus towards undergraduate learner placements.

Everybody is an educator. Educaton is everyone's responsibility.
The outcome-based framework describes the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to be an effective teacher, learning facilitator and role model in AHP education across all career stages and should be seen as an important first step in establishing a national standard for the AHP education workforce.
It looks at a range of AHP educator roles with their associated capabilities and proposed education, training, and academic standards through six domains. These domains consist of the capabilities and competencies required for advancing educator careers for every AHP at every career stage.

The Charter was created in response to healthcare learners’ feedback on their clinical experiences in maternity services, set out in the Kirkup (2015 and 2022) and Ockenden (2020 and 2022) reports.
The Safe Learning Environment Charter supports the development of positive safety cultures and continuous learning across all learning environments in the NHS. It is underpinned by principles of equality, diversity, and inclusion. It has been developed by over 2482 learners, educators, and key stakeholders in health education.
The Charter is designed for learners and those responsible for supporting placement learning across all learning environments and all professions within them. It is aligned to the NHS People Promise in recognition that learners are vital to the workforce and are included in the promises we must all make to each other, to improve everyone’s experience of working in the NHS. The Charter sets out the supportive learning environment required to allow learners to become well-rounded professionals with the right skills and knowledge to provide safe and compassionate care of the highest quality.
