1.Reducing practice hours requirements through international benchmarking

6.Offering practice learning opportunities in the full range of digital service delivery models
7.Ensuring all healthcare students have a foundational social care-based learning opportunity to understand the broader health and care system
8.Raising expectations and rewards amongst clinical staff around their educational role
9.Developing architectures to support transition of clinical staff into education and vice versa
10.Incentivising the private sector to offer practice learning opportunities in line with their future workforce requirements
11.Provide part-time routes that enable students to access flexible theoretical and practice learning opportunities
11.Align the financial and student flows through the placement system
