Academic in Practice (AiP)

The Academic in Practice is a named link for a number of specific geographical areas/organisations, who should be contacted in the first instance regarding any queries in practice.

The AiP will support students who are not achieving their clinical competencies, and have been referred or are failing in practice.

The AiP can support the student and assessor with development of action plans to enable students to achieve specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound (SMART) objectives.

If students have additional health needs, the AiP can provide advice, support and referral.
