Evaluating a project to support the development of placements capacity in Child Community and Primary Care
Placement
Jumoke’s abstract was accepted for poster display at the 2016
‘Developing Multi-professional Health Educators for the Future’ Conference
at the Kia Oval on 28th June
The conference was organised by the Professional Development Department
on behalf of the Health Education North Central and East London, Health
Education North West London and Health Education South London in pursuit
of professional development and educational excellence, by promoting
educational research and innovation in healthcare education.
The poster is an abstract of the HENWL project Jumoke is working on in
collaboration with LSBU to build organisational capacity for pre-registration
nursing placements in the community. The project supports NHS 5 year
forward view; to shift health care closer to home. To achieve this, we need to
prepare our future nurses to work in a variety of settings to ensure that their
training and learning experience should be population based with an
integrated approach (Lord Willis 2012)
A different approach to mentoring in new placements is currently being
piloted across CLCH sites. The project will be evaluated at the end of the pilot.
Virtual patients
Asha Sharma and Nick Archetta spent an interesting morning with the medical education team at St Georges University. They
looked at innovations in teaching and learning and in particular the development of virtual patients scenarios to support
medical students learning.
The software is called openlabyrinth which is free to download and enables organisations to create their own virtual patients.
St Georges have developed their own suite of scenarios which they use as follows:
1) Group discussion with students using problem solving approach
2) Students self-assessment.
3) Supporting students’ knowledge around ethics using a scenario based approach.
If anyone is interested, I would suggest that they open the link highlighted in green below;

There is also a project which commenced in January which aims to share knowledge and learning in relation to this subject
matter

Clinical Education Audits
From 2014 – 2016, CLCH worked in partnership with Kings college, UoH,
Bucks New University, Kingston and St Georges and UWL to carry out
Educational audits across 79 clinical services.
These services currently facilitate our pre-registration student placements.
Such audits need to be carried out every two years. The cycle will commence again
in October.
If your service would like to be involved in student learning, please contact our team;
Careers Fair – Buckinghamshire New University We actively participate in recruitment days across the various HEIs. It is a great Opportunity to engage with students and promote CLCH
Department of Health – Connecting and Engagement Programme 2016
CLCH has partnered with the DoH ‘Connecting to patients and people who use services’
initiative. This programme is specifically designed to provide DH staff the opportunity to
see how care is being delivered first hand.
This June, we offered 3 x DoH fast streamers working within government policy
an opportunity to shadow our walk in centres, Community Nursing and School Nursing
services.
See feedback below;
‘I had a brilliant time. I feel like I learnt a huge amount over the two days, and it really
Was eye opening to hear (and see) first-hand all the challenges involved in their work.
Both of the people I was shadowing were very experienced nurses and manager of
Nurse-led services, and had a huge amount of information and insight to share.
Many thanks to the Clinical Education team for organising this opportunity to connect
And the teams for being so welcoming and engaging over the two days.

Latest News and updates – NHS
Over 55 million patients in England are set to benefit from accessing their GP record
online.
Patients in England will be able to view test results as they come in and keep track of
their glucose levels and cholesterol on their smartphones, enabling them to take
greater control of their care and better manage their health.
Official figures reveal that over 95% of GP practices are now set up to offer online
access to detailed GP records including test results and diagnose as well as referrals,
immunisations, procedures and medications history. This is up from just 3% of
practices in January this year.
This latest step is part of a raft of online GP services available to patients, which are
designed to make their lives easier and more convenient including online appointment
booking and ordering of repeat prescriptions.
https://www.england.nhs.uk/2016/07/gp-records-online/
NHS England.
The Public believes that the government should continue to pay for the pre-
registration training of student nurses and midwives, according to a survey carried out
for a major union
http://www.nursingtimes.net/news/education/public-against-axing-of-student-nurse-
bursaries/7006089.article?blocktitle=Most-popular&contentID=-1
The Nursing and Midwifery council (NMC) will now allow nurses and midwives to pay
their annual registration fee in quarterly instalments.
Switching to this type of payment must be done 20 days before the first of the month
in which a nurse or midwifes’ annual fee is due.
A full guide to paying the NMC fee can be found on the NMC website

fee-instalments

“Nursing is a career that I had
never thought about being part of
until I saw the positive impact a
great nurse can have on a patient
experience whilst my dad
underwent treatment for
Liposarcoma.
I was adamant that King’s was
where I wanted to study. During
the first week of starting university
we were given our host trust. Now
being 100% honest, I was upset to
find out that I was placed on a new
programme where you spend
more time in primary and
community services with CLCH
than in the hospital.
However I can say now that it was
a blessing in disguise. I have had
an opportunity to work with
amazing nurses who are interested
in your learning development
needs. Their enthusiasm with
patients care and knowledge of
conditions and treatment is
inspiring. I have experienced a
broad range of conditions in the
community and have been
fascinated at what the district
nurses are able to deliver in the
patient’s homes.
Also whilst on placements I have
been able to attend other services
and observe how the multi-
disciplinary team work together to
make sure a clear individualised
care plan is set up.
CLCH have given me an amazing
first year experience and I would
like to thank everyone who has
been involved in my learning. I
look forward to being part of a
new pathway to nursing and have
high hope for the next two years of
my degree.”

Fast Track
We are in the throes of delivering our new innovative fast track programme. This programme recruits band 5 nurses within 6 months of
qualifying enrolling them on a 12 month structured work-based training programme. Through preceptorship, completion of a competency
framework and education, the programme guides newly qualified adult nurses or adult nurses returning to practice through a bespoke
pathway. Whilst undertaking the role of band 5 staff nurse those enrolled are then able to progress to a band 6 nursing post at the end of
the 12 month programme.
Our first cohort of nurses started in May and we have a further cohort of 16 nurses starting in September 2016.We look forward to
welcoming them on what should be a phenomenal journey.
Apprenticeships
What are Apprenticeships?
Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes, designed with employers, which combine on and off the job learning and
development activities. They are used to develop employees who are in new job roles including higher level roles.
Six of our health care support workers from Children’s Division have joined our first cohort of apprentices that started their training in June.
We will also have a cohort of 9 assistant practitioner apprentice starting in September 2015.
There will be a wide variety of apprenticeship training opportunities for all existing staff going forward. Please look out for more
information on our apprenticeship page that will be launched shortly. If you are interested or have any queries please contact- Marcia
Pinnock Roye, Clinical Education and Practice Lead.

this whilst also highlighting the range of projects that they are focusing on within their teams and services.

retention within our district nursing services. This included a update on targeting university career fairs with new materials, the rolling
recruitment programmes that are in place, our overseas recruitment drive and recruitment to a fast-track programme.
