PLACEMENTS

Richmond Training hub are actively promoting placements in General Practice to train the future workforce:
  • Pre Registration Student Nurses
  • ​Back to Nursing
  • ​Newly Qualified Nurses
  • ​Medical Students
  • ​Physician associates
  • ​Pharmacists
  • ​Physiotherapists
  • ​Paramedics
Currently in primary care there is an ageing GP and GPN (General Practice Nurse) workforce with 40% due to retire in the next 5 years at the same time there is a national shortage of GPs and GPNs, with many practices finding it very difficult to recruit experienced nurses into GPN posts.
By increasing the number of clinical placements in general practice the future workforce gains exposure to primary care and all of the career opportunities available.
Richmond Training Hub can support practices in increasing placement opportunities.

What Our Students Say

“I would like to take this opportunity to commend your support and in-depth knowledge in relation to mentoring me while on clinical placement at your surgery.

I was very nervous in the beginning and unsure if my learning objectives would be achieved at The Practice.

But I can confidently say today that it was a very fruitful and productive placement from a professional and personal perspective. In my view I surpassed my learning objectives and I do hope that more nursing students would get an opportunity in general practice.

I should admit that at times the pace of learning was very fast and hectic, nonetheless it challenged me to prioritise and plan my activities in a better way.

This is one of the key aspects that I will surely remember for the rest of my nursing career.

I reserve special thanks to your GPN colleagues who constantly encouraged me and demonstrated to me good evidence-based nursing practice.

Miss everyone at the Surgery, such a lovely place to work at…”

“I enjoyed working with different nurses and GP’s in clinics and appointments. Every one was so friendly and went out of their way to be supportive. The Health centre is a wonderful place to work, with friendly and helpful healthcare professionals.

I can’t fault any of my experiences. I loved every minute and enjoyed working with amazing professionals!”

“I would like to emphasise how pleased I am at how the placement is going. I have arranged to run a tutorial for the registrar at the surgery to give her some insight into the role of the physiotherapist in falls prevention, I hope to also gain some knowledge into how GPs approach  managing fallers so that the experience can be a reciprocal learning opportunity. I believe this is a good example of MDT working and initiating appropriate relationships within a team.”
