Abstract

In September 2020 during the UK national lockdown associated with the coronavirus pandemic, three cohorts of speech and language pathology (SLP) students from different year groups were due to start their clinical placements. Faced with a significant shortfall of placement offers, principally from national health providers, six university-based SLP staff provided virtual placements using computer-simulated learning environments provided by Simucase®. Final year students worked in small groups and rotated around clinical specialisms. They engaged in a range of tasks including role-play, assessment selection, devising intervention materials, and writing case notes. Written reflections by SLP staff were recorded individually and analysed, by taking a phenomenological approach, for shared perspectives including realism in clinical education, role diversification and the importance of feedback. Implications for allied health programs are discussed.
