PEER ENHANCED E-PLACEMENTS
UNBLOCKING THE LOG JAM WITH SUSTAINABLE APPROACHES
Covid 19 brought significant disruption, delays, backlogs and challenges for Higher Education 'placements', especially in
health and social care courses. The rivers of learning are jammed by pre-pandemic capacity challenges, pressures to educate ever more students to address workforce needs, forced suspensions of face-to-face education.
Peer Enhanced E-Placement (PEEP) can help: it provides a sustainable model of placement delivery with rich and meaningful learning for students and rapid viable adoption for staff, deploying existing placement standards and outcomes. For now - and for agile, flexible provision for uncertain futures.
Take a quick tour through the PEEP philosophy, approaches, agility and adaptability. Do not miss the chance to unblock your log jam.
Listen and watch: Professor Gilly Salmon and Dr Lisa Taylor reflect on what they have together created and can offer to you.

PEEP ADAPTABILITY AND AGILITY
(design once: deliver many times) The heart of any PEEP is the individual professional standards and specific placement learning outcomes for your students at their stage of learning. The core PEEP pedagogical journey for students is consistent – but the experience can (and has been) fully adapted and adopted to reflect your needs and challengesneeds. PEEP is agile and can be moulded to fit and satisfy your local placement structure requirements. |

PEEP Long Arm Supervisor
- “This online placement really helped them (students) to adapt to working online, managing their time and develop to a new level of collaborative team working that they have not completed before. Their understanding of the complexities within each of the case studies presented really focused them on person centred care, within the constraints of health service provision, and it enhanced their knowledge around each of the conditions presented in the case studies.”
- Over 50 participants so far from the following professions – Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Physiotherapy, Dietetics, Orthoptics, Operating Department Practitioners, Social Work, Therapeutic Radiology, Nursing, Paramedics and Optometrists.
- “Highly recommended workshop – time to discuss and reflect on how we can enable great practice learning for students online. Plenty of evidence says it’s not 2nd best but reflects today’s practice”
- “Excellent session thank you” “Really informative workshop”
- “Develops mind set that encourages PEEP as an integral part of student learning”
- “Very engaging and thought provoking”
