Q6 #LTHEChat graduate reflection questions within the graduate outcomes survey give an interesting perspective on what graduates think of the role they are in.

A5 #LTHEChat supporting student's mental well-being on placements is important. This is often a time where students need that extra support to put into practice what they've learned.
