Nursing - National preceptorship framework

This preceptorship framework is a resource for health care organisations and can be utilised in other care settings such as social care to support the practice of newly registered practitioners in England. This recommended best practice approach to preceptorship has been developed through extensive stakeholder engagement exercises with practitioners representing all fields of practice and settings across acute, community, primary and social care. The approach recognises that, where preceptorship is firmly established as part of the culture of an organisation, there are significant benefits for newly registered nurses, other staff, and the organisation itself in terms of retention, recruitment, and staff engagement.
