Teri Taylor 2012 Northumbria University Funded by IPREN Preparing the foundations for video-based practice-placement support: establishing the role from a students’ perspective
Background • Changing financial and environmental demands upon HEIs • Practice placements distributed widely due to competition, availability and access to specialisms • Increased demand for practice placement support across the school programmes • Changing nature of student cohorts
Video-based dialogue: Fit for purpose for student support during distant placements? Pilot project Establishing the role Fitness for purpose? Phase 2: Perspectives re: value, purpose and content – qualitative study. Questionnaires n=56 Focus group n=9 Phase 1: Pilot project (small scale) – “Video conferencing: an effective solution to long distance student placement support?” Phase 3: What is a conversation? Video link vs face-to-face: multiple objectives, mixed methodology
Phase 2 - outline • Purpose of this phase of study • To explore the value, purpose and content of mid-placement support structures – what role will technology have to fulfil and do students want it? • Objectives: • To establish participant perceptions of the purpose of the clinical visit. • To identify ideal visit content from the participant perspective. • To investigate participant opinion regarding alternative methods of providing support during placement periods.
Progression of the project • Overall response indicated perceived value in the mid-placement visit as a means of motivation and prompting and of contact with the Uni. • However, method of approach to open to debate with widely varying responses to suggestions for change.

phase 2 – applying ideas in reality • Key messages: • Impact of confidence on support needs • Student perceptions of individual need (variable) • Menu of options • Practical impact of technologies affects fitness for purpose – what in reality will need to be done? • Pros and cons of using alternatives – risk of hiding! • Need to consider fitness for purpose in implementation planning
