  5. Clinical Placement System Development (CPSD) Program Objectives • Delivering safe and high quality health care and training in a rapidly changing environment • Responding to pressures of increasing student numbers, challenging workforce issues and health reforms • Understanding better the synergies and balance between service and training needs and contexts • Building on and exploring further expansion of clinical placements in non-traditional teaching and learning environments • Linking funding opportunities and health service and training requirements – a systems and outcomes approach

  6. Student Placement Policy Committee (SPCC) Functions • Consider the different approaches adopted by the individual schools to the student placement process with a view to reaching agreement about common approaches • Identify and seek to resolve any issues which may arise in the instance of cross-discipline student placements, • Review and oversee the implementation of policies that relate to placements at a school, FHS and UTAS level and, where appropriate, develop new, uniform policies for consideration by Faculty Executive, • Play an active role in participating in the PiH CPSD Program and consider draft proposals, • Develop strategies to build capacity for all FHS students to gain workplace experience and/or clinical training,, • Receive and consider information from the Student Placement Administration Committee (SPAC), and • Liaise with other schools at UTAS who place students in external organisations with an aim of sharing innovative approaches and models of best practice.

  9. Key Issues for Pharmacy Key objectives • To deliver to our students the “best” possible placement experience with flexibility to meet the needs of individual requirements. • Respond to high demand locations and accommodation requirements with ballot systems in place for popular locations within Tasmania and Australia. • To adhere to the Rural and Remote Pharmacy Placement Allowance Scheme funded by the Commonwealth of Health and Aged Care (CDHAC) and managed by the Pharmacy Guild of Australia including financial reporting and placement summaries. • To build on existing non-traditional teaching and learning environments and continue to explore further regions both rural and metropolitan. • Work with other disciplines and resolve any high demand locations together, such as Latrobe and Burnie where the Rural Clinical Schools and public hospitals are located.
