How do the attitudes of therapeutic radiographers affect students ’ learning during practice placement?

Practice placements are essential for radiotherapy students to learn and embed the necessary skills for practice; thus, each placement should afford an optimum learning experience. A key finding from the Phase 3 student arm of recent doctoral research suggests that for some students an optimum learning experience is not guaranteed. Using students' own words, this paper seeks to increase radiographers' awareness of how their behaviours can affect students ’ placement learning, and aims to help improve the placement learning experience for both.
