Practice Support Net

Welcome

We recognise that supporting and assessing students in practice happens alongside delivery of patient care, and that managing these often competing demands, can be incredibly challenging.

Practice Support Net offers guidance, documentation, training information and key contact details to support students during their practice placements and providers while coaching a student from UWE Bristol during their placement.
