Prior to being accepted, students will be interviewed by a practice educator to assess their suitability and motivation and practice educators should be aware of the Pre-placement meeting information that sets out how the interview should be conducted.

Students and practice educators should be aware of Camden’s Practice Learning Guide and at the start of every placement should meet to complete the student induction checklist.
