Embedding and championing preceptorship
Tuesday 21 October
Wednesday 26 November
All 11.30am - 1pm
Only need to attend one
This autumn a series of free sessions aimed at supporting your organisation to run a successful nursing preceptorship programme.
Preceptorship programmes are a vital part of the support required to recruit and retain registered nurses and nursing associates who are new to the NMC register.
Nursing preceptorship is a structured period of support and development for newly registered nurses and nursing associates as they transition into their professional roles.
It is designed to smooth the transition into the workforce, promote safe, effective, and confident practice and foster a sense of belonging and professional identity. Newly qualified nursing staff are called ‘preceptees’ and are supported by more experienced nursing staff who act as ‘preceptors’.
The preceptorship series is designed to enable organisations to put a programme of preceptorship in place and utilise the existing knowledge and skills of their experienced nursing staff who can provide preceptorship leadership and act as preceptors for newly qualified staff.
There are two separate sessions, running through September, October and November, for those people in your nursing team who could carry out the following roles - one would be a preceptorship lead, who would lead on this for the organisation, and then other nursing staff who could act as preceptors.
