As part of our commitment to developing our own workforce Black Country ICB’s Training Hub are seeking the assistance of GP practices in providing placements for students who are undertaking both pre-registration and apprenticeship nursing degrees.
All primary care employers have a part to play in developing our practitioners of the future and hands on work experience is critical for students to be able to put their learning into practice.
To host students you will need to be educationally audited prior to placement. This means the University/ICB will meet with your practice to ensure it meets the guidance set by the NMC for hosting students.
Placement durations vary but could be one day a week for a period of 12 weeks to a block placement of several weeks. Practices would need appropriate nursing supervision for when students are placed. Supervisor training will be offered for this. A placement tariff is available for pre-registration nursing programmes.
The process to become a placement site does take time so please get in touch ASAP if you are interested in finding out more. The Practice Placement Team can also facilitate placements for other professional groups (e.g., physios, podiatry, pharmacists).
