Recensioner i media

A student’s guide to placements in health and social care settings, from theory to practice is edited by Williams and Conroy and published by Critical Publishing. Interestingly, it does not feel like an edited book, as there is a common voice across all the chapters. The book is aimed at any student undertaking a placement in either a healthcare or social care setting which works well, as it does not try to prescribe what the placement should look like. Instead, the book focuses on the holistic underpinning principles of experiential placement learning to be able to combine the student’s knowledge and skills. As such, this accessible book is a must read for any health or social care student who wants to engage in deep learning whilst on placement.Paula BeesleySenior Lecturer in Social Work, Leeds Beckett University
