Clinical Placements
Hubs and Spokes
You will already be familiar with the terms 'hubs
and spokes'.
The core aims of hubs and spokes placements is to
give the students a broader experience, promote a comprehensive
'care pathway' approach to student learning, and create the
opportunity to meet the European Union Directives, whilst
maximising exposure to multidisciplinary team colleagues.
- The hub will be the ward or department where your placement
will be.
- The spoke being all other departments connected to the hub and
patient care. Each hub has a student notice board for all related
information, including a list of possible spokes for that
area.
It is not always necessary or possible for you to visit all the
relevant spokes. Students should arrange their spokes with their
mentor to ensure that spokes are relevant to the hub and realistic
to the stage of training you are at.
