Journal of Practice Teaching & Learning

The Journal of Practice Teaching and Learning* covers all aspects of practice teaching ('field education') in workplace settings in health and social work. It also considers the policy context, and the changing expectations of service users, Government and the public. Material is practically relevant to what trainers, managers and workers actually do in health, social work and social care. A main theme is the effectiveness of training and education as preparation for work in these fields.

The Journal will interest anyone striving to develop excellent practice teaching and field education programmes:
  • Trainers and educators
  • Managers
  • Policy makers
  • Personnel and staff development specialists.
The Journal sponsors the annual International Practice Teaching and Field Education Conference. The thirteenth event in this series took place online, 13th-14th October 2021. A special conference issue of the Journal was published later this year.

Special issues on Practice teaching and learning across Ireland
The first issue has been published. The remaining articles will appear during October and November 2023.

Free Zoom seminar on Practice Teaching in Ireland, 14th December 2023, 14:00hrs GMT

This seminar will look the lessons from work reported across two special Issues of the Journal on 'Practice Learning across Ireland' – the largest special we have ever published.

This will be an opportunity to hear from the Editors and authors about their work and its significance. Ireland and Northern Ireland have two distinctly different systems of health and social care provision. But there is also much in common. In particular, strong traditions of inter-agency and inter-professional collaboration, and a willingness to develop new approaches. The work reported here will be be relevant to health and social work educators internationally.

The event programme is below.

Places are limited. So please book as soon as possible at:
