HPS Japan training project started in 2007 and the placement takes an important role for educating HPS and developing this project. Thus, this project planned a placement in UK, where HPS was established, for the supervisors of placements in Japan. This UK placement can teach them the skills and techniques of HPS so that they will have clear ideas of their professional goals and roles in Japan.
Even though some had issues with the language barriers, all had great learning experiences. We would like to develop the HPS Japan training project further based on this learning experience.
