What support structures are needed to successfully manage large‑scale nursing clinical placements?
In this session from PebblePad MiniBash Melbourne 2022, Sheridan Gardiner‑Klose, PebblePad Coordinator at the University of South Australia, shares how dedicated support roles, structured processes, and digital tools enable effective management of nursing clinical placements at scale.
Drawing on her experience supporting 3,700+ nursing students across 29 workspaces, Sheridan explores how PebblePad supports:
- Consistent and secure clinical placement documentation
- Effective communication between students, facilitators and academics
- Management of large, distributed placement cohorts
- Facilitator access, data privacy and role‑based permissions
- Centralised support, training and system governance
The session highlights the operational realities of managing clinical placements across metropolitan and regional settings, and the importance of clear support structures, user guidance, and relationship‑building with practice partners to ensure placements run smoothly.
