Clinical Placements 2014

As the demand driven system continues in the university sector,

institutions are struggling to find clinical placements at the rate of

enrolment. This hike in enrolments has led to an unprecedented

pressure on both universities and health system budgets. The

current system is reliant on existing grace and favour relationships

and lacks structured interface between health and education to

increase capacity.

Under the pressures of rapid growth and recent national reforms

in health and education the clinical training environment remains

complex and unstable. Health and education providers need to

renew efforts to build cross sector systems and processes that

can reduce uncertainty; and to measure the diverse ways in which

clinical placement partnerships deliver benefits.

This conference will improve attendees' awareness of evolving

strategic issues and focus on innovative strategies to source quality

placements in an uncertain landscape.

This conference will address how to

Increase capacity for placements in non traditional settings

Enhance quality through innovative placement models

Define cost and benefits of placements

Collaborate effectively to ensure quality placement provision

Unpack the diverse placement market
