This placement will form part of the evidence of satisfactory completion of 1,000 hours of practice education required by the British Dietetic Association. Students on placement and practice educators will normally receive one liaison contact from a member of academic staff to integrate academic based studies with practice-based experience, monitor students' progress and contribute to formative feedback/feed forward advice. Additional contacts may be arranged as necessary. Placement C is credit rated, but no grade is attributed to the module. Students can normally only be allocated a maximum of 500 additional hours across the all practice placements and the additional hours for each practice placement cannot be more than the original placement length. |
