Exploring Preceptorship Programmes: Implications for Future Design
ConclusionsThere were instances of outstanding preceptorship and preceptorship programmes where there was a clear link between the strategic vision, i.e., trust policy, and its delivery, i.e. preceptorship offering. There was no one framework that would universally meet the needs of all trusts, yet there are key components which should be included in all preceptorship programmes. Therefore, we would encourage innovation and creativity in preceptorship programmes, cognisant of local context.Relevance to clinical practiceThe significant shortage of nursing staff in England is an ongoing issue. Recruitment and retention are k...

Staff reporting medication errors should be supported, not punished, and the information provided used to improve the system.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserve...
