Primary Care and Neighbourhood Insight Placement – a new innovative pre-registration placement!
The Primary Care and Neighborhood Insight Placement opportunity is available to Nursing, Pharmacy and Paramedic Students.
The placement will take place within Primary Care and Community settings in Lincolnshire and will involve Insight and Tour Days giving students the opportunity to gain clinical competencies, insights and teaching to carry out health checks, medication reviews, history taking and a wide variety of Primary Care based activities.

Student Placement Evaluation
Insight days:
Spend one or two days per week at your practice with no paperwork or signed competencies required. Insight days give students a chance to experience the day-to-day activities of General Practice. Students can spend time with any member of your team, both clinical and non-clinical.
NHS Health Check Day
Nursing students can host NHS health checks at your practice to give student nurses the opportunity to conduct basic health checks on pre-selected patients. Captured data, such as height, weight, blood pressure, blood tests, or smoking status, can also help your practice claim QOF points.
