Abstract

Student nurses need a variety of high quality practice placements to prepare them for qualification yet, in reality, this can be difficult to achieve. A practice placement allocation model has enabled one university and its partner healthcare organisations to shift from a traditional,
process-led system to a robust, proactive, student-focused approach. The model is based on partnership concepts including advance planning of student placements
and clear lines of communication. It has resulted in 100% of first-year students taking part in a new fundamentals of care placement and received positive feedback
from students and mentors.
