This induction pack is to help you as a learner to familiarise yourself with the team. It provides you with the basics about the team
and should help you to plan to meet your learning needs.
We recommend that all learners contact the team in good time prior to placement to identify who will be supervising your learning
and confirm start times/hours.
During your placement you should have a minimum of a preliminary, midpoint and final meeting with whoever is supervising your
learning. You should also undertake some form of leaning analysis then produce a learning contract and or action plan that provide
structure and direction to the time you are with us. Your supervisor will be able to help draw this together but you must take a lead
in negotiating your plan. Some examples of these tools are provided but you may wish to use those produced by your education
provider.
Please ensure that you present any documents regarding your placement with our staff on the first day of your placement. This
should include any assessment document, learning outcomes you hope to achieve and any type of ongoing record of achievement.
On completion of your placement you will be asked to provide an evaluation. Please take time to complete this openly and honestly
as it is only with your feedback can we improved the quality of these valuable learning experiences.
We hope you find the time on your placement enjoyable and productive.

time limited issues and shall be referred back to their GP after intervention or when their condition has
improved.
Significant numbers of service users may remain involved with the team for on-going treatment, care and
monitoring for several years. This will be subject to regular multidisciplinary review through the Care Coordination process confirming the need for ongoing support at this level and to promote improvement in
the individual’s condition or quality of life through the process of recovery.
The service delivery is multidisciplinary in structure, the team consists of practitioners and clinicians with a
range of professional backgrounds from both Health and Social Care agencies. Whilst individual staff are
operationally managed locally by the Operational Team Leader, professional lines of accountability and
support exist within all staff groups.

The opportunity to shadow team manager / other team members at appropriate forums.
Care is delivered within a care programme approach (CPA) / clinical governance framework.
CPA provides for a systematic assessment, needs led and comprehensive approach to care
planning and risk management.
For South Staffordshire and Shropshire Healthcare NHS FoundationTrust, Clinical Governance is
about putting the user at the focus and developing excellent services that ensure that what we do is
right, timely and based on the best evidence.
Clinical Governance is at the heart of effective services - everyone working in the organisation has
a responsibility to help develop and deliver quality services for patients and carers.
