Placement Café
Placement Café recordings and resources
The Placement Café was a monthly opportunity for those supporting placements for pre-registration learners to network, share experiences, and discuss ways of creating high-quality, sustainable placement opportunities.
Although the Placement Café no longer runs, the recordings and resources continue to provide valuable insights and practical examples for those involved in placement learning. The cafés were structured around the seven AHP principles of practice-based learning and brought together a wide range of professionals involved in placement provision.
Presentations were recorded and remain available as a resource. Question-and-answer sessions were not recorded, enabling participants to engage in open and honest discussion.
The Placement Café was open to both RCOT members and non-members involved in the delivery of placements. While cafés were not hosted specifically for learners (students and apprentices), many of the resources remain relevant to anyone with an interest in practice-based learning and placement development.
