How did we get to this point Reviewed the BDA (2008) Curriculum Framework Hosted a number of consultation events in 2010 with placement providers Developed a model and consulted via an on- line survey.

How did we get to this point The results of the survey were discussed with Stakeholders in October Stakeholders advised to develop the new placement structure.

Philosophy The learning outcomes and structure of the new placements are based on the stages of the Nutrition and Dietetic Care Process.

Diagnosis Identify and label problem Determine contributing risk factors Cluster signs and symptoms Intervention Plan nutrition intervention - Goals and plan of action Implement nutrition intervention Care delivered Monitoring and Evaluation Monitor progress Measure outcome indicators Evaluate outcomes Assessment Collect timely & appropriate data Interpret with evidence-based standards Screening and Referral Nutrition & Dietetic Care Process

Placement structure Placement 1 is 2 weeks Placement 2 is 12 weeks Placement 3 is 14 weeks

Placements What will remain the same: The placements will continue to be competence based assessments. Students will be required to gather a portfolio of evidence to show their performance against the learning outcomes.

Placements What will be different ? Or new and improved ?

The learning outcomes have been rationalised so that there are fewer, they are more relevant and assessment as a result will be easier. There won’t be any tools. The paperwork has been simplified to make life easier for you. Placements
