Partnerships between students, academics and clinicians in co-creating the student experience

Title: Partnerships between students, academics and clinicians in co-creating the student experience.
The necessity to have partnerships to create a responsive and creative student experience is vital.
Having attend this year’s NETNEP conference in Banff, Canada it was obvious that we academics are interested in the issue of practice placement capacity and the experience of clinical placement for our undergraduate student nurses. We know there is a need to ensure that students have exposure to real world patient care and we know that in some areas of the globe that there is a real shortage of placement opportunities.
