Developing the NWPDN as a placement for Pre-registration learners

The North West Placement Development Network (NWPDN) in collaboration with University of Liverpool worked together to develop the NWPDN as a placement area.  This placement was developed in order to increase and expand learning opportunities for pre-registration healthcare learners to prepare them to be part of the future health care workforce.  This project initially explored the concept of providing a two week spoke placement for pre-registration nursing students in the 2nd or 3rd year of their degree programme. A spoke timetable linking to key stakeholders that tie in with the NWPDN has been developed highlighting learning opportunities to complement and expand on learners’ knowledge of the Network. To read more case studies in this series click on the author below (North West Placement Development Network)
