“…COVID-19 presented new and unpredictable challenges for health professionals and students. The pandemic precipitated a 'surge of creativity and innovation' to ensure health professional students could complete practice education requirements (Bartlett et al, 2021). This study explored graduate perceptions of their final placement during the first wave of the pandemic to understand how this experience impacted on their readiness to join the profession.…”

Introduction: COVID-19 created a need to rapidly adapt practice education placements to minimise the impact on students’ progression to graduation. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy students at one university completed their final practice education placement between April and May 2020, during the period when health care was urgently adapting to the developing pandemic. Aim: This study explored the impact of this final placement on new graduates, following their employment. Method: 10 students took part in 3 online focus groups to share their experiences and perceptions of the impact on their preparedness for professional practice Results: Four themes emerged from the analysis of transcripts including: 1. Coping with uncertainty, 2. Rising to the challenge, 3. Developing skills and competence and 4. Readiness for employment in the “new world” of practice. Overall, the study demonstrates the resilience of students in response to these unusual circumstances. Strategies including peer support, demonstration of learning, and client-centredness increased confidence and the development of professional identity. Conclusion: Graduates identified both positive and negative experiences of placement during COVID-19, but overall felt proud that they had demonstrated resilience and developed skills relevant to their current employment as professionals.

It is now 10 years since the first issue of the International Journal of Practice-Based Learning in Health and Social Care was published. Since then, there has been significant change; not just in practice learning itself but across health and social care, the ways people work and study, and in political and regulatory domains. As a way to celebrate the resilience of the journal and its contributions to the evidence base, we are delighted to have put together this special anniversary issue. The issue brings together 10 articles that highlight the range and excellence of the 157 publications from the past ten years. We also present an interview with two of the founding members of the journal, reflecting on the last ten years, including the developments and challenges that have characterised this time. To identify our ten articles, we started by looking at those articles which attracted most readers across the years. We then reviewed those popular articles, selecting a diverse mix of topics, professional backgrounds, geographies and research/evaluation approaches. Having selected articles for the special issue we asked the original authors to reflect on the impact of their work, highlighting its currency and sharing what happened next. These reflective commentaries capture the significance of the studies and their contributions to advancing practice-based learning.

“…Many practicebased learning opportunities, whether uniprofessional or interprofessional, have experienced significant disruption, being postponed as programmes were mandated to rephase their delivery; or requiring the adoption of innovative, alternative approaches to existing provision, with rapid transitions to remote and online learning. The impacts for educators and students worldwide have proved considerable (Hickland et al 2020;Winship et al 2020;Bartlett et al 2021;Lawton et al 2021;Marchant 2021). It is from this theoretical and evidence-informed position that consideration will be given to the COVID-19 adaptations and opportunities for innovation within practice-based learning and interprofessional practice-based learning, drawing on the literature and illustrated by case study reports and reflections from academics working with a range of professional groups.…”

This is the fifth article in a series exploring interprofessional education during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article focuses on the experiences and adaptations employed in relation to practice-based learning and placement provision. Forming an integral part of many professional programmes, changes in provision and approaches to practice-based learning and placements will be explored, drawing on theory and findings from existing literature and illustrated with case study reports. Opportunities for innovation, the challenges for incorporating interprofessional practice learning and evidence-informed guidance for future practice will be considered.
