Teesside University Pre-registration Nursing Programme Year Two Spoke Information Booklet for Students (1209 onwards) Year two/stage two placement information: Adult GP Practice/walk in Centre and Health Visitor allocations There are two long practice learning periods within the second stage of the programme. During the second placement period you will spend one week working in a GP practice or walk in centre and one week with a Health Visitor. The purpose of these placements is to enable you to further develop knowledge and skills relating to caring for people across the age continuum, family centred care and meeting the needs of children and young people. The placements will also enable you to further develop your knowledge and understanding of the role of other members of the health and social care team and their contribution to service user care and that of their families/carers. Negotiating and recording student learning in the spoke placements You should discuss the one week learning experiences with your zoned academic and practice mentor during the first tripartite meeting On the first and last day of each allocation the short placement documentation record within this booklet should be completed by you and your supervisor. This information should be reviewed by your hub practice mentor and/or zoned academic mentor if your spoke placement occurs after the final tripartite meeting Students are supernumerary throughout their practice allocations. This means that you are not part of the areas designated staffing numbers. You are required to work the shift patterns allocated to you by your Practice Mentor/supervisor and this could include working night duty.
