Resource Kits
The resource kits act as a support tool for both the Practice Educator and the student and should be used to support best practice in practice education and to provide direction in the case of queries/concerns. The resource kits support the implementation of the recently designed Practice Education Handbook which includes further details on all TCD Practice Education related information. Please refer to the Practice Education Handbook for further detail.
There are two resource kits – one for practice educators and one for students. Each resource kit is divided into three distinct sections:
