Digital Placement for Student Nurses
Our collaboration on the Digital GP student nurse placement has now been featured in the Nursing Times. This joint initiative created a student nursing placement in primary care. Digital learning days enabled students to participate in virtual consultation sessions and develop skills in health promotion and ill-health prevention. Students also spent one day each week in a GP surgery to consolidate learning. This mix of learning experiences was evaluated highly by students and, after undertaking the placement, many viewed GP nursing as a future career. Read the full article online here.
