Healthcare and Games Technology Learners Co-Designing a Placement Support APP

Bambery, Angie; St John-Matthews, Janice; King, Andy

Abstract

Identified by learners, challenges with the clinical learning environment were a key outcome of the national Health Education England (HEE) Reducing Pre-registration Attrition and Improving Retention (RePAIR) project. Through this work learners expressed an interest in having an app to support their experiences. With support from HEE, this study adopted a co-design approach to developing an app proof of concept on the theme of student clinical placement experience. This was achieved through cross faculty working, engaging learners from the Therapeutic Radiography and Technology and Gaming programmes at the university to produce a concept that was practical and functional.
