FUTURE Previously conducted site visits for clinical liaison

– Time consuming– Expensive– One off, little continuous formative feedback.

Tentatively began conducting clinical liaison through the online space with some good preliminary results.

HURDLES Change!!

Externals –

– logistics of training – IT confidence– attitude towards online environment

New terminology associated with new platform

Availability of WiFi in clinical environments

Trouble shooting when students on placement

HOW DO YOU COMBAT THEM!!!!

Your own attitude.

How to measure success!!!!!!!!!!!!"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm” Winston Churchill.
