| Annotation | Practice education is a core element of all educational programmes for health care professionals. Practitioners who support, supervise and assess learners for entry into their respective professions need to be well-prepared and supported in their roles as practice educators. The Making Practice-Based Learning Work (MPBLW) project involves staff at Ulster, Northumbria and Bournemouth Universities. The project aims to make practitioners more effective at supporting and supervising students in the workplace across a range of health care disciplines: dietetics, nursing. occupational therapy, physiotherapy and radiology. A literature review focuses on the nature and effectiveness of practice education; the role and development of the practice educator; interprofessional learning and practice education; and intercultural issues. The researchers used a case study method for data collection and analysis. Their findings consider aspects that are discipline-specific, while six key themes emerge as providing a useful pattern for future work: learning and teaching in practice; support for learning in practice; reflection in practice; assessment in practice; interprofessional learning in practice; and diversity in practice.
