Calling All AHP Practice Placement Professionals!

Have you been involved in AHP placement delivery within the past 5 years? The Health Sciences University need your insights!

The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan aims to increase AHP training places by 25%, reaching over 18,800 by 2031/32. However, the challenge of providing enough clinical placements is well-known and has significant implications for the future pipeline of AHPs.

To address this, the Health Sciences University has been commissioned by NHS England to conduct a research study on the development and delivery of practice placements. This study aims to support the expansion of placements and drive a positive return on investment for providers by recommending innovative solutions to overcome barriers.

Your participation in this brief survey will help to gather valuable data on the Enablers and Barriers to practice placements.

Please complete and share the survey: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/aeccuc/removing-barriers-to-placements-hsu

For any queries, please contact Dr. Michelle Holmes at mholmes@aecc.ac.uk
