Patient Voices: Working smarter

 

Working smarter

Reflective digital stories told by young Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) about their experiences of training and employment are valuable learning resources that can be placed at the centre of programmes for the development of mentors and preceptors. They also provide a rich way of gathering and conveying to further cohorts of trainee AHPs the experiences and experiential learning of their predecessors.
This project with AHPs follows on from successful projects at the University of Nottingham with Mental Health Nurses and on inter-professional working.
