Abstract

Demand for undergraduate nursing and midwifery placements and provision of quality clinical experience is an ongoing issue within Australia (Anderson et al. 2016; HWA 2014). In tackling this issue, Townsville Hospital and Health Service (THHS), accepted the challenge co-designing an innovative model in partnership with James Cook University to develop a sustainable supportive clinical supervision model that rethinks how and where clinical placement support is provided. The new model was underpinned by a deliberate move away from a facilitated student model.
