The practice environment provides important learning opportunities for students on health care programmes. In order for these opportunities to be fully realised, practitioners working with learners need to be knowledgeable, skilled and expert, in both healthcare and educational practice.

The module aims to enhance knowledge, skills, compassion and confidence in learning, teaching and assessment in clinical practice. The course structure is designed to enable practitioners to competently support and supervise learners, and integrate principles of learning and assessment with existing professional knowledge, skills and accountability.
