Clinical placements have so much to offer to the education of healthcare students. This workshop focuses on an important part of that education – the nurturing and encouragement of the development of clinical reasoning skills. We will start with a summary of the historical development of clinical reasoning as a subject area, and then consider the range of opportunities available to tutors to help their learners strengthen their clinical reasoning within busy clinical settings, offering some specific teaching tips and techniques along the way. We will conclude with the opportunity for participants to have some of their questions answered regarding the tuition of clinical reasoning in their setting.
