Practice educator availability and time to go through the portfolio varied

# data[].attributes.body
We found that this placement was a good experience for learning, however there were a few negative points.
Very few members of the team would support you in understanding examinations e.g. lack of explanation around request form justification and limited insight on improving projections etc. 2. Some staff would be persistently critical of us on aspects we had already agreed or arranged with the practice educator. 3. paperwork not complete as Josh was away therefore portfolio not signed off 4. infection control issues related to wearing gloves and hand washing 5. The site is very similar to our first year so we all felt that we haven't had a good variety of clinical experience.

1. Limited examinations with no justification process due to consultant referral.
2. Two patient pathways, return home or return to consultant.
3. Staff were welcoming and kind, supportive and allowed us to do all the examinations if we wished.
3. Consultants went through reporting, explained anatomy and what they were doing during the examination.
4. Clear differences between the private and public sector of the NHS.

Jenny little is amazing

Staff always complimentary of knowledge and willingness, ?ability for this to be fed back directly from placement site

Can staff be made aware that our placement time is what it is. the amount of negative feedback and comments said on a daily basis really impacts the daily experience on “our lack of experience”. this also results in some staff refusing to sign off even on numbers because “we don’t get enough experience”

# data[].attributes.body
Staff understanding of familiarity with different equipment and image processing methods, supportive of this

Abdomen availability

Changing hospital in 2nd year has proven to be an invaluable learning opportunity in how different departments operate; different equipment; building relationships with staff; different protocols

# data[].attributes.body
Time and patient numbers prioritised over golden standard of images

Uhnm

Big difference noted on placement yr one versus year two. Seemed mainly due to the amount of newly qualified staff was far more than experienced staff and there is a massive communication deficit between teams making things a lot harder to work through

Uhnm feedback

1. One person designated in each area of rotation to take you on board as a student. This ensure that you have that person willing to teach, asses and provide support. Also potentially a visual que of who is an assessor would be helpful such as a badge.
2. Some placements such as Rowley hall don’t need to be a week long as they don’t have the workload.
3. If we are only having a short few days in a modality the lead in that area should be made aware of us and our responsibilities such as the sign off sheets of tasks as often they were unaware making it harder to progress through and actually find willing staff to complete the tasks with us.
4.maybe the assessors could have a target of how many assessments they have to have done with students in order to keep their assessor position as it was difficult in certain areas to find keele assors that were  willing to asses us. THis might make them more proactive in teaching us.
5.almost in every area despite pushing ourselves forward it was just so difficult to find people happy to take us on board in completing numbers and assessments.
6. The Haywood was an excellent place of experience so far.
7. More willingness in staff to assist with image interpretation as it was felt it was often missed and blown over because either too busy or not interesting in going to ten point check after images .

Office doors were never closed, pursuit of concerns, compliments, complications and knowledge were all equally welcomed

Phoebe and Nix from RJAH are great!

# data[].attributes.body
No apparent hierarchy between radiographers and/or radiologists, both clinically and socially

# data[].attributes.body
Students encouraged to take part in theatre

# data[].attributes.body
Specialist modalities was very helpful, provided a lot of insight in their day to day activities and the physics of equipment.

# data[].attributes.body
Staff encouraged students to get involved in chasing pathways (ie if an image is red dotted, staff encouraged students to go and see the radiologist)

# data[].attributes.body
Students were supported in challenging request cards

# data[].attributes.body
More of a community feel in smaller hospital. Students fitted in nicely and were treated as part of the team

# data[].attributes.body
Autonomy to carry out examinations, critique images and question if projections are suitable to be sent.

# data[].attributes.body
It would nice if we had direct numbers for the educators at RJAH, the only number we have is for the switchboard, who always seem to redirect you to the wrong person.

# data[].attributes.body
Questions weren’t perceived as a challenge, but a growth of knowledge, staff were also honest about gaps in knowledge and promptly filled this gap alongside the student

# data[].attributes.body
Staff were not dismissive of student comments especially in terms of patient safety, whether correction of care or explanation as to why this was not necessary

# data[].attributes.body
Staff were happy to let students get hands on experience in modalities rather than just watching (ie CT and Ultrasound)

# data[].attributes.body
Sally Taylor is great

# data[].attributes.body
Staff went above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcomed, majority were also happy to let you get on with examinations after working with them a few times

# data[].attributes.body
The radiographers at Oswestry were all so willing to teach, willing to give you a chance and try doing things your way, and very supportive when doing it your way inevitably doesn't work out.

# data[].attributes.body
Frequency of tutor availability- possibly designate a set time every 2 weeks to meet up

# data[].attributes.body
Mobile availability

# data[].attributes.body
They do very few mobile examinations at Leighton and also few abdomens so we feel we need more practice at these.

# data[].attributes.body
The vast majority of the radiographers at Leighton were very supportive and were more than willing to share their knowledge.
