Description

Supporting students on placements in health and social care settings, this accessible guide provides a framework for understanding the theory behind successful practice as well as the critical skills needed to apply it.

A Student's Guide to Placements in Health and Social Care Settings takes theory beyond the classroom and apply it to real settings, enabling students to recognise their own learning journey and develop their own distinct professional identity within a wider interprofessional context.

This is a key resource for placement experience with insights from experts and advice direct from students who have already been on placement. With clear guidelines, and structured so that you can dip into different chapters as needed, it responds to the unique nature of placement opportunities and is the first line resource students should turn to.

Whatever course you're studying in the caring profession - Social Work, Health and Social Care, Youth Work, Nursing or Counselling - this is essential reading to help understand how theory can support and improve your placement experience, ensuring you get the very most out of it.

Reviews

"A student's guide to placements in health and social care settings, from theory to practice is edited by Williams and Conroy and published by Critical Publishing. Interestingly, it does not feel like an edited book, as there is a common voice across all the chapters. The book is aimed at any student undertaking a placement in either a healthcare or social care setting which works well, as it does not try to prescribe what the placement should look like. Instead, the book focuses on the holistic underpinning principles of experiential placement learning to be able to combine the student's knowledge and skills. As such, this accessible book is a must read for any health or social care student who wants to engage in deep learning whilst on placement."
