In their first clinical placement and using an active learning approach, students provided an extension to existing service provision. Therapist‐led teams of six students carried out assessment, therapy and advice. Carefully structured preparation, supervision and feedback enabled them to discover and develop effective approaches for themselves. The learning experience and service provision were evaluated and modifications introduced over a three year period. Feedback from students and service users confirmed that the project had provided both effective learning and a valuable contribution to the local service.
