Newly Qualified Nurses

Preceptorship is an important support mechanism for newly registered practitioners (Nurses, Nursing Associates, Allied Health Professionals (AHP) and other healthcare professionals) who are entering employment for the first time following professional registration, staff transitioning into a new clinical role or area of practice, internationally trained professionals or those returning to practice after some time away.

Within Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, the Multi-professional Preceptorship Academy is an interactive education resource, knowledge, and information hub for all preceptorship activities. Key components of the Academy are the Multi-professional Preceptorship Core Education Programme, Preceptorship in Practice, Preceptor Development and Preceptee Action Learning Sets.
