What are occupational therapists doing to facilitate virtual placements? In today's episode, Anna chats with fieldwork coordinators and placement educators: Lisa Taylor, Teresa Rushton, and Margaret Spencer, and online education expert, Gilly Salmon, about how we delivered placements in the virtual space during COVID. 

Highlights include:

- Learn about the Peer-enhanced e-placement (PEEP)  placement model developed by Dr. Lisa Taylor and Gilly Salmon at the University of East Anglia
- Learn about how Margaret Spencer, from Sheffield-Hallam University, and her students developed their virtual placement around online communities before COVID even began
- Learn about the virtual placement that Teresa Rushton hosted at the University of Derby - where students were working on projects promoting wellbeing amongst staff and students
