This Bitesize Case Study briefly explains the development and implementation of a Mentor Toolkit designed to provide practical guidance for mentors to support students in practice who may be experiencing emotional distress and/or issues relating to their mental wellbeing. The study is mapped to HEE's Quality Standards and explains what the team set out to do, what the intervention was and the Key Outcomes and Lessons Learned.
This eWIN Case Study gives an overview of Transforming Learning Environments (TLE) events run in the North. Health Education England (HEE) working across the North West asked all Practice Education Facilitators (PEFs), Placement Development Managers (PDMs), Work Based Education Facilitators (WBEFs), and Skills for Health Academy North West to work collaboratively to transform the learning environment following an HEE event in 2015.
Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust invests heavily in a Quality Champions initiative and encourages staff of all levels to sign up and develop quality champion projects meaningful to their area of work and as a way of identifying improvements to service.
At Bolton NHS Foundation Trust the students’ voice matters and as such it is high on the pre-registration team’s agenda. The Trust has created a platform – Student Engagement Forum - for students to voice their views regarding issues that affect them. The inaugural events were held in May and July 2016, the months when we had the highest numbers of students on placement at the Trust.
The ‘Better at Home’ project was introduced to support transition to home for technology dependent children with complex health care needs by providing training and support to parents and unpaid carers.
Many of these children require complex medical interventions including tracheostomy, gastrostomy and children who are ventilator dependent. There were three elements to the project:
• WellChild Parent Trainer Role
• ‘Better at Home’ Simulation Suite
• eLearning materials
This eWIN case study looks at reducing placement attrition at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (ELHT).
Attrition within student nurses is a long-standing and well documented problem within the UK (Orton. S. 2011). For some nursing programmes the attrition rate can be as high as 50% (Lord Willis, 2015).
