QAA Scotland has a programme of work with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) and NHS Education for Scotland (NES) on practice-based learning (PBL).
Our work aims to encourage the sharing of PBL practice between the social care, teaching and nursing professions.
Work to date has focused on:
- learning support (including practice-based teaching qualifications and mentorship)
- supporting newly qualified practitioners
- practice placement coordination
- harmonising documentation.
We have published a report on the key aspects of practice-based learning in teaching, nursing and social work in Scotland:
