We offer support for West Yorkshire general practices and nurse mentors/ assessors/ supervisors to become placement providers for undergraduate student nurses. Our driving aim is to increase access to general practice placements for student nurses, to promote practice nursing as a career and help secure the primary care nursing workforce of the future.
Providing placements for student nurses is a great recruitment tool and professional development opportunity for staff. Practices receive an NHS England tariff payment to support time for assessment/supervision and coordination.
When is it available?
Ongoing – student placements take place throughout the year and you can start getting involved at any time.
What’s involved?
By providing placements for student nurses, you are promoting practice nursing as a career pathway when in the past it might otherwise have been overlooked by students. This in turn should help to secure an important part of the future primary care workforce.
