Researchers are warning the future of the allied health professions is at risk 🏥
Researchers are warning the future of the alliedprofessions is at risk if the current one-to-one placements are not changed to to a minimum of two students.
The 14 allied health professions include occupational therapists, dieticians, radiographers, paramedics and physiotherapists, working in hospitals, clinics, housing services, people's homes, schools, and health centres.
Commenting on the current situation, Gail Nash, AHP practice education programme Lead, NHS Education for, said:"We are working with AHP professions across Scotland to explore how peer-assisted learning and other models of placement delivery can support placement recovery post-Covid and at the same time modernise, diversify and create sustainable solutions to placement issues.”
“It isn’t solving the underlying problem of supply and demand. We just don’t have enough placements for the students that we’ve got.problem. Implementing this two-to-one model overnight could solve the placement crisis so we need the NHS to buy into this now. Anita, GCU lecturer in occupational therapy and AHP practice placements lead, acknowledged that bringing in a new system overnight could spark fears among staff that it would create extra work but there is evidence that it could actually reduce workload.
“Instead, students work together; they may have different skills sets from previous placements and life experiences which they can share and teach each other; they can offer each other informal support, and during any ‘down time’ that may crop up, they can spend time with each other.”
