Learning site supporting Scotland's Preceptorship Framework
Introduction
This preceptorship resource has been developed to support nurses, midwives and Specialist Community Public Health Nurses (SCPHN) in their transition to new roles and practice settings from the point of registration and as they progress through their career. It is a national resource that aims to promote consistency in the provision and support offered by preceptorship programmes across Scotland. It also builds on the NMC Principles for Preceptorship and offers guidance to preceptees, preceptors, managers and the wider organisation.
The preceptorship framework is presented under the following headings
What is preceptorship?
