Overview
The practice profiles on this page have been created by placement areas to provide information to students to support them in preparing for their placement. These have been split into core Divisions to make it easier to locate the profile that you need. You will find practice profiles under the following categories below:
- Acute (Adult) and Ambulance services
- Community services
- Maternity and Paediatric services
- Mental Health and Learning Disability services
Each practice profile will contain contact and location details for the placement area, a description of the service and client group, information on shift patterns, recommended reading and specific learning opportunities.
Please take time to read the practice profile prior to commencing your placement as this will ensure you are appropriately prepared.
We hope you enjoy your placement experience and please do complete your end of placement feedback form so we can share good feedback and continue to improve placement experiences for students.
