Clinical placement coordinators (or equivalents) and administrators from education providers and clinical placement providers are suitable participants. Persons attending the meeting(s) must have sufficient authority to discuss the organisation’s clinical placement requirements (this will be the clinical placement coordinator or equivalent). New viCPlace users As part of the registration process, registrants whose organisations do not have access to viCPlace will need to nominate an individual to be set up as the ‘organisation administrator’. This administrator can then grant access to additional viCPlace users in their organisation. Based upon information provided during the registration process, viCPlace login details will be sent to the organisation administrator via email from viCPlace. Any additional users added to viCPlace by the administrator will also receive login details via an email from viCPlace. Upon entering viCPlace for the first time, a user will be prompted to accept the viCPlace terms and condition of use. Upon accessing viCPlace for the first time, clinical placement providers should take the opportunity to consider their organisation set up and capacity, whilst education providers should consider their placement requirements. Workforce Network staff will assist participants with these activities as required. Participants will be supported with initial viCPlace setup and use by the Workforce Network Coordinators and the Information Support Coordinator. Under their direction, the statewide team of Information Support Officers will have a significant role in assisting participants to prepare for Clinical placement planning in 2016. Additionally, information and training resources designed to assist with using viCPlace are available within viCPlace.
