Abstract

Wenger’s (1998) conception of social participation as a process of learning is the most difficult, yet essential, characteristic of health related work based learning programmes to capture. Informed by a socio-cultural perspective, this integrative model of work based learning applies to any participant at any level in any work context.

Keywords: work based learning, health and social care, innovative models of adult education, lifelong learning, practice knowledge
