  7. Generalist opportunities • No real change • Traditional route to qualification • Opportunities for trad. integrated placements are disappearing so fast that this route will be moribund within 2 years – it probably is already! • Placement desert is now impacting on recruitment to BSc – course closures from 2009

  8. Specialist opportunities • Internship (normally employment as Technician) is about development of EHness and competence in specialism – universally 'end-on' after completion of degree • Internship must lift the student to Masters level in respect of the specialism • Whilst internship is about developing competence (a higher cognitive requirement than for Gps) it wil normally be in one subject area so training burden on placement organisations is reduced

  9. Summary • Traditional placements are dying, if not dead • Whether we like it or not specialist competence-based practice IS the future • Competence development only comes with practice • For specialist route, placements replaced by internships / employment as a Technician • Internship concentrates in one specialist area of practice and, in theory, increases system capacity • Unless we can address the placement/internship issue course recruitment and the profession will die.
