Abstract
Clinical placements are widely acknowledged as essential to the holistic development of health professionals, with the ability to engage in professional practise in patient-centred healthcare models providing one example of this holistic development. These placement experiences have historically involved a series of short-term rotations between hospital-based disciplines, continuous with or interspersed between short blocks of theoretical learning.
