Preceptorship

Preceptorship is a period of structured support provided to health and care workers at key moments of career transition, such as entering the workforce for the first time, returning to work after a long period away, working in the UK for the first time, taking up a new role, or moving to a new organisation, to give them confidence to act as an autonomous practitioner.

Our Trust policy aligns with the HCPC Principles of Preceptorship and we are striving to develop our AHP preceptorship programme to meet these standards. We are also working with our nursing and midwifery colleagues to introduce multi-professional core study days to offer as part of our preceptorship programme.
