The process of becoming a provider of student placements
Step one
After you express an interest in hosting placements, you will be contacted by a Practice Placement Development Lead (PPDL).
Step two
An initial visit will be made by your PPDL to discuss placements further and a profile will be completed of your placement area.
The PPDL will help you identify practice assessors or practice supervisors who will support and assess the students: Student practice supervision and assessment resource centre.
Step three
You will be sent a Workplace Agreement by your PPDL’s placement team. This needs to be signed and returned to that team.
Step four
Your placement setting(s) will be quality audited by the placement team. This covers elements such as student support and assessment, learning and teaching opportunities, and CQC ratings.
Step five
A Learning Development Agreement will be set up with you by Health Education England. This enables their payment to your organisation of the placement tariff.
Step six
You will then be allocated your first students.
