Background:
While nursing education has been forecast to continue to grow, placement capacity is now the key factor precluding growth in supply.
Aims:
To provide a comprehensive understanding of hub-and-spoke placements and their ability to increase placement capacity.
Method:
A systematic scoping review and narrative synthesis were used (Arksey and O'Malley, 2005). PRISMA checklist and ENTREQ reporting guidelines were followed.
Findings:
The search returned 418 results. After a first and second screen 11 papers were included. Results suggest that hub-and-spoke models were generally evaluated favourably by nursing students, with a range of benefits reported. However, many of the studies included in the review were small and of low quality.
Conclusion:
Given the exponential increase in applications to study nursing, hub-and-spoke placements appear to have the potential to better meet these increased demands, while also providing a number of benefits.
