The Consortium is trailing a pilot with the Strategic Health Authority and Sheffield Hallam University offering placements for undergraduate nurses, paramedic practitioners and physiotherapy students within General Practice as part of their training. This will enable practices to further develop themselves as learning environments and for students to experience what working in General Practice really entails.
