The Quality Standards for Practice Placements (QSPP 2008) were created to maximise the quality of the learning environment within the practice setting.
These standards clarified the expectations and responsibilities of learners and those individuals and organisations supporting them. These standards were used by nursing, midwifery and AHPs.
Along with the standards, an audit tool and an audit process was developed to enable the Allied Health Professions to audit themselves against the standards. These standards were reviewed and the new Quality Standards for Practice Learning (QSPL) have been available since February 2021.
Currently these standards are being used by our nursing and midwifery colleagues as they have a digital audit system in place. AHPs are still using the old standards (QSPP) until a new digital audit tool for the QSPL is developed. It is hoped that this audit tool will be available in 2023. Until this tool is developed, please use QSPP Section 1 and 2.
