Contacts for Student Support

The universities use a variety of models to ensure students are provided with support while on placement.

The Practice Placement Unit (PPU) can offer support to students in a variety of ways, including queries about allocations, information governance training and uniforms. Please contact PPU on placements@healthcare.leeds.ac.uk.  For Leeds Beckett University students: nursingplacements@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.

The Director of Practice attached to each University placement unit has the overall responsibility for practice placements and can offer support where necessary. In the first instance please contact the Practice Placement Unit who will refer your query to the relevant Director.

Each practice area has a clinical Liaison Lecturer based either at the University of Leeds or Leeds Beckett University. They are qualified in the relevant discipline and keep in touch with the clinical area. They can be called upon to offer help and advice relating to clinical staff, students and practice assessors. There will be a poster in your clinical area which states who the Liaison Lecturer is, you can also find out who they are and their contact details when you log in to the website to get your allocations. If you still unsure please contact the Practice Placement Unit.

The School of Healthcare Student Support is central to the School of Healthcare, University of Leeds's commitment to ensuring a positive and fulfilling experience for its students.
