Elle, Midwife, explains more about the preceptorship programme at UHDB.
We pride ourselves on our close working partnerships between our hospitals and education establishments, including the University of Nottingham who we partner with to deliver training and clinical placements for nurses and midwives.
Preceptorship is a 12-18 month transition period with structured support to enhance the skills, knowledge, competence, and confidence of our newly qualified staff. We have a strong programme that constantly links into their ongoing development and personal career aspirations. We have a robust support programme in place for our overseas nurses and rotations and secondments for our staff to access.
It is available for all nurses, midwives, allied health professionals and healthcare scientists across the five sites.
