Why we are Participating in the Project
The School of Health Sciences, University of Nottingham, recognise the critical importance of having a common collaborative platform for audit and quality assurance of clinical learning environments across Europe and more widely. The project will significantly increase interprofessional co-operation and practice-sharing between participating universities and employers and offer greater cross-border opportunities for students in Medicine and Allied Health in addition to those of Nursing and Midwifery already addressed.
