InPlace at ARU

We’re introducing a new online placement system called InPlace at ARU for all our placement programmes across the University.

We have listened to feedback from practice partners, students and our staff and are investing in a new placement management system to enhance our interface between clinical staff and students around placement related activity.

We strongly believe that implementing this new system, which can be accessed on any device, demonstrates our commitment to improve and enhance this important area of our operation and we will be working closely with you and your teams, as we implement it.

Our Placement Systems Lead will be available every Wednesday to offer help and support via Microsoft Teams. To book a slot, or for any other queries, please email [email protected]

Post-launch drop-in sessions

Post-launch, we are also offering drop-in sessions for InPlace and ePad. There's no need to book - simply click the relevant link to join the Microsoft Teams meeting when your preferred session is taking place.

Notification of Change (NoC) forms

For certain areas of clinical education audit activity, you may need to complete and submit a Notification of Change form. There are three NoC forms:

• Setting up or requesting a new agency (practice learning area) form
  To set up a new practice learning area on InPlace, a NoC form needs to be completed. This will enable our practice team to set the new area up on the system. You'll be contacted once this has been done, so that you can complete the other elements of the audit.
• Changes to agency (practice area) form
  Whilst most fields in the audit will be able to be edited by individuals with higher level access, there are some fields that will need to be changed by the University practice team. This will require the completion and submission of a NoC form.
• Deactivation of an agency (practice learning area) form
  To temporarily or permanently deactivate a practice learning area, please submit a NoC form.

Please ensure that you have obtained permission to compete these forms from your organisation education lead/team. All changes will need to be agreed and confirmed by the Senior Education Lead before submission.

All changes requested through the above forms will be monitored and reviewed at our Practice Education Committee meetings with our practice learning partners.
