Practice placements help you to gain work experience and apply your knowledge to real-life situations.
While on your Sports Rehabilitation placement, you will have a placement educator to ensure you feel confident and supported in the workplace.
Throughout your placement, the university placement support team liaise with your placement provider and educators to facilitate the experience and help you get the most out of it. This includes administrational and practical support.
A tutor from the university is available to support both you as a student and your educator acting as a link between the academic programme and placement environment.

Supporting Students on Placement
To support students with their placements, you will both have access to a named university tutor.
While on placement, students will be assessed using a rubric, evaluating four areas of practice: professionalism, communication, assessment, and treatment.
The assessment process and marking will be completed within the student's PebblePad e-portfolio. The student will invite you to share their assessment workspace on PebblePad. You will be asked to complete the midway and final assessment form on PebblePad.
If this is the first time you’re using PebblePad through the University of Nottingham, you will need to complete the account confirmation form:
