Abstract
This article outlines a range of work-based learning opportunities which are suitable for healthcare assistants, healthcare support workers and assistant practitioners. Innovation and imagination, plus a sound evidence base, are the foundations for work-based learning opportunities based in the School of Nursing at the University of Salford. Student choice and flexibility combined with a rigorous learning experience are the guiding principles. The process of learning focuses on ‘real life’ work-related issues that make a difference to clients and service provision. This is achieved through partnership and negotiation between the student, their employer and the university and acts as the medium for the valuing and changing of practice. As one student on the course suggested ‘it’s good to able to concentrate on what I’m actually doing…I can make what I am doing meaningful within my work’ (student comment, module evaluation, 2006).
