Working with Health Education England, NHS partners and Universities within the West Yorkshire & Harrogate Integrated Care Board, Neoniq’s, technology enhanced, digitally delivered, placement learning experience was  designed alongside the NHS to help healthcare students' development. It uses a coaching approach, to explore and enhance students' professional identity, digital skills and their leadership skills, whilst allowing them to explore and enhance their personal and professional wellbeing. Since starting the journey in 2022 we have delivered digital placements to over 600 nursing, physiotherapy and dietetic students from 5 Universities across 2 NHSE regions.

​

The placements have a designated placement profile and are audited. Feedback to date has been overwhelmingly positive. We have been part of new programme development and approval. The placements have now been reviewed by the NMC as part of ongoing and new programme approval processes to meet all NMC placement standards Nursing students are also able to evidence NMC proficiencies as part of the placement.

 

 95% of students who submitted placement evaluations would recommend the placement to other healthcare students, whilst the remaining 5% would 'maybe' recommend the placement

​

Placements delivered to date have been bespoke and have consisted of themed weeks, the placement length typically being between 4 and 6 weeks. The weeks have been used together as stand-alone practice learning activities, or combined with face to face placements as part of a blended practice experience. There is a strong focus on reflection, self and peer evaluation and as you would expect for any placement, there will interaction with service users, carers and healthcare professionals during placement activities.
