Abstract

This presentation will showcase the Preparation for Successful Placement WebApp developed with funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) catalyst grant. The project “Interventions for Success” sought to improve retention and attainment in Higher Education by introducing appropriate interventions which targeted undergraduates who were at risk of withdrawal or those not fulfilling their full potential. We examined the poor attainment of disabled students and noticed they had particular challenges when they were studying in practice settings (clinical placements).
