Welcome to the first ediƟon of Professional Focus.
This newsleƩer is dedicated to Clinical EducaƟon, why it is important, how
we support it and what that means for our future workforce
On 10th October, Tracey Hilton and
Nira Varsani represented the Clinical
EducaƟon Team at the Wesƞields Job
show in Shepherds Bush
This was an opportunity to speak to
the public about what services we
offer, inform them on how they can
embark on a professional career and
let them know what opportuniƟes are
currently available.
It was great to engage with the public
and gain feedback from them.
We also managed to raise our team
profile whilst networking with other
colleagues and OrganisaƟons.
Overall, it was a very successful event.
The Clinical EducaƟon team currently manages a live Mentor Register which
is located on our intranet site:
hƩp://srv-intranet/NonClinicalServices/CEP/Lists/Mentor%20Register/
AllItems.aspx
It is important that you let us know if your record is up to date or if you
need to be added / removed from the register.
If this is the case, Please contact someone from the placements team
‘It would appear that student expectaƟons and aƫ-
tudes, personal characterisƟcs and behaviour, are all
fundamentally important in ensuring a posiƟve learn-
ing experience. Although it is generally assumed that
the mentor must take responsibility for leading the
learning experience (NMC 2008), it is a two-way pro-
cess and, as such, we need to prepare students for
placements by enhancing their skills in the following
areas:
• emoƟonal resilience
• interpersonal skills / communicaƟon
• personal agency.
They also require knowledge of their curriculum, learn-
ing outcomes, assessment strategies, and an under-
standing of the importance of idenƟfying specific place-
ment learning opportuniƟes, prior to starƟng a place-
ment.
The responsibility for shaping the placement experi-
ence does not lie solely with the mentor. Students,
therefore, need to be appropriately prepared for place-
ments, as outlined above, if they are to maximise the
available learning opportuniƟes’
Anne Corrin, Senior Lecturer, University of Essex

Jenni Middleton, editor of the Nursing Times, said of the NHS:
"Students tell us over and over again that their placement is one of the most important aspects of their training. A posiƟve
placement experience will not only teach good pracƟce but will also coach students in how to develop relaƟonships with their
peers and paƟents. Student nurses oŌen approach their placements with a certain amount of trepidaƟon, but our finalists
have created
cultures that are supporƟve, caring and empatheƟc – the best environments in which to nurture the next generaƟon of nurs-
ing
talent. We applaud their posiƟvity, enthusiasm and wisdom."

Placements Facilitator

CLCH /
Kings College
Pilot Project
Aim
To develop, implement and evaluate a placement circuit for BSc adult nursing stu-
dents which successfully prepares them for registraƟon, whilst emphasising out of
hospital clinical placements.
Proposal
This proposal is based on a partnership between the School, CLCH (the HENWL prima-
ry care placement provider) and C&W (one of the HENWL secondary care providers).
Together, the partners seek to achieve a placement learning experience for five Year
1 BSc adult nursing students, for the duraƟon of their programme that focuses pri-
marily on out of hospital care whilst sƟll enabling all NMC competencies to be met to
the level expected of all King’s students . CLCH will be the students’ principal place-
ment organisaƟon. The intenƟon is that the students who undertake the pilot will join
the CLCH Registered Nurse workforce on successful programme compleƟon. This pro-
posal has the support of the Chief Nurses of both healthcare organisaƟons and has
been formulated in direct response to the addiƟonal five HENWL commissions of
which the School was informed in December 2013.
Support
Students will be allocated to a CLCH link lecturer as a personal tutor. This will ensure
that the personal tutors of this group have a strong primary care orientaƟon. The stu-
dents will also be provided with ‘personal mentorship’ from the Deputy Chief Nurse
from CLCH, Anthony Pritchard, or an equivalent. This will provide the students will
access to an experienced senior clinician in the placement who will oversee their de-
velopment for the duraƟon of the programme and provide support towards their am-
biƟon of becoming a primary care nurse
NMC outcomes
Detailed placement mapping will be undertaken so that the CLCH placement circuit
will provide students with exposure to placement experiences that fulfil NMC pro-
gression point competency outcomes. At least two-thirds (minimum of six place-
ments) of the nine placement experiences during the programme will be in ‘out of
hospital’ placement experiences, including walk-in centres, district nursing, general
pracƟce, care home, hospice care. Students will also be provided with 2-3 secondary
care placements, with one of these in the first year of the programme, and a further
placement in a Level 3 care facility
The CLCH ConƟnuous Improve-
ment Programme is an intensive
training and development
programme designed to equip
staff, at all levels, with the basic
skills and knowledge to make
effecƟve improvements to
services and to tackle complex
problems.

Learning how to effecƟvely
improve service

6. Health Visitor ImplementaƟon Plan – Clinical PracƟce Placements
The HV ImplementaƟon Plan (DoH, 2011) had an ambiƟous target to recruit 4200 by March 2015. We have
been consistently successful supporƟng this by meeƟng our local target to increase the number of student
placement. In 2013/14 we trained 37 health visitors, more than a 50% increase on previous years.
This would not have been made possible without the support of dedicated and commiƩed pracƟce
teachers, experienced mentors and PracƟce Educators who were instrumental in working closely with staff
and higher EducaƟon InsƟtutes to ensure safe, high quality clinical placements were provided.
The PracƟce Educators used their experƟse, high level knowledge and clinical skills to support the develop-
ment and implementaƟon of a number of important iniƟaƟves including student forums aimed at
supporƟng student is pracƟce; mentor educaƟon supervision; PracƟce teacher Forums and triennial
reviews.
Consequently 100% of our full Ɵme Sept 2014 health visitor students were successful in compleƟng their
SCPHN training and almost 80% have been successfully appointed to a health visitor role.
We would like to say huge congratulaƟons and welcome them to CLCH as newly qualified health visitors.
WELL DONE!
