Abstract

Monitoring quality and equality of nursing practice placements is a challenging task for universities. This paper presents a longitudinal evaluation model currently applied at one university in the UK, where in addition to the traditional clinical placement audits, the practice placements are monitored and evaluated continuously through student online questionnaires. The paper outlines the content of the questionnaire, the data collection processes, data analysis and the dissemination processes. Sustainability challenges of the model are also discussed.
