Hi All
I have a prospective student already this year but if this falls through Anne of course I will let you know. I am however happy to take a student for alt practice on a reciprocal arrangement, maybe a student who is in the private sector and would like to come to KCH for some NHS experience for a couple of days?
Kind Regards
Helen

Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] OH Practice Placement
Dear JISCers
As list users will have noticed, several of our prospective students have posted on JISC in the last few weeks asking for practice placements in order to undertake their SCPHN degree programmes with us.
I am now posting in support their requests. You may be unaware that the situation with regards to OHN education is now getting very serious. Based on very strong evidence I believe that SCPHN occupational health nursing is on the verge of collapse. This results from a lack of practice placements and practice teachers. Crystal ball gazing, unless we get the support of people to facilitate the practice learning of OH students I suspect that over the next four years or so several NMC SCPHN (OH) courses will be forced to close.
OH Nursing education in the UK has a long history going back to 1932 and I have taught OHNs for well over 20 years and many JISCers are my graduates. I would be very sad to see SCPHN OHN courses die.
Please can some of you help people such as Barbara and earlier posters to secure placements. Using Barbara's request as an example, her breadth of experience is phenomenal and she has many skills transferable to the OH setting.
Best
Anne
