Models and methods of placement delivery
Different models and where to find more information
Consider which model of PrBL will work best for your placement. Clinicians are encouraged to try new approaches with support from Higher Education Institutions and/or local Practice Education Leads if required.
AHP PrBL opportunities meet the learner’s learning and development needs across the 4 Pillars of Practice, with opportunity to develop employability skills and experience local policies and values.
AHP PrBL can be achieved by any model or method of PrBL delivery adapted for any service or sector. Models may be mixed to form hybrid placements; they can be delivered face-to-face, online, or a blend of both.
