Collaborative Learning In Practice (CLIP)
The Kent and Medway Placement team have created this excellent resource that brings together links to lots of resources on CLIP models: Coaching approaches to student learning resources Jan 2024
HEE provide a presentation and info about CLIP in conjunction with James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust link here
Kent and Medway have piloted CLIP to expand nursing students. Here is copy of slides for their presentation: Collaborative Learning in Practice August 2023
They have also provided a document that captures information from their CLiP pilot. This is structured in a way that may support you to think about how you could use this model in your practice. The document includes contact details for Nina Phoenix should you wish to be in touch with her for further information. CLiP model template KMPT
Surrey Heartlands ICS ran a webinar with presentations about the history, evidence base and examples of how to CLIP. The slides can be found here: Surrey Heartlands Coaching Webinar presentation 23.03.23

Sailsbury District Hospital Education team have created these two videos to show CLIP in practice and to hear the feedback on the value of the model for students:
CLiP – Allocation of workload and feedback – YouTube
CLiP – Coaching Model – YouTube
This also utilises the GROW Model which is a coaching framework for problem solving, goal setting and performance improvement read more here
The RCN also provide useful information about using a coaching model in supervision. Read more here

Near Peer Model
Most of us can think of people in our lives who supplied information, offered advice, presented a challenge, initiated a friendship, or simply expressed an interest in our development as a person.
Near-peer-mentoring is a way of promoting professional and personal development.
What is the Near Peer Model?
One or two more experienced students role model and reinforce the learning of one or two less experienced students. In their ongoing interactions, the peers are both helping each other to learn, and learning by teaching (Yu et al, 2011)
Access the Royal College of Occupational Therapy Optimising and Enhancing Placement Capacity webinar here which talks about the Near Peer Model.

Interprofessional student led placement
At Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust they are developing two interprofessional placements where groups of nursing, occupational therapy and physiotherapy students will work together on a designated ward where they will be responsible for coordinating the day to day care of patients care in a particular bay. They will be overseen by practice educators and there will be daily ‘power hour’ sessions where students come together to reflect on their learning and development and also regular teaching sessions with educators from various professions. This is due to run as a pilot n May 2021.
We would welcome contact from any other sites that would be willing to develop this in their organisation.
