Aims and
scope
Work
Based Learning in Primary Care
develops the study and understanding of work based learning in primary care.
The journal publishes a mixture of original, peer-reviewed papers and
accounts of personal and team learning in practice, describing work based
learning from the point of view of practice, policy and research. It debates
the practicalities, values, and behaviours attached to this form of learning
and looks at the challenges facing those who seek to improve practice
through work based learning.
The editor seeks contributions from all those that work in primary
care. This would include administrative and management staff, nurses, allied
health professions, and doctors, but this list is not exhaustive.
Work
Based Learning in Primary Care invites
contributions, which cover the following learning scenarios
1.
Work based learning as a form of self
directed learning. This may involve formal or informal learning. The
learning may be undertaken by an individual by him/herself or it may take
place in a collaborative way – for example in learning groups or through
one to one learning relationships
2.
Accredited work based learning as a part of
a university or college based programme
3.
Work based learning as part of an
occupational training programme, in which there is an element of work based
learning activity – for example, reflective
practice, apprenticeship, mentorship or assessment
Each of the above scenarios may involve learning, which is either work
located or work related. If the learning is work located, then it actually
occurs at the place of work. If it is work related, then it may take place
away from work, but is undertaken with the purpose of improving patient
care.
The journal wishes to stimulate
discussion as to how work based learning can establish the necessary
conditions for the reasonable and sustainable improvement in patient care.
We publish policy and practice reviews, educational research, practitioner
research, special interest papers and accounts of practice.
