Evaluating the Quality and Impact of Preceptorship Programme

Mehar will use her award to evaluate the impact of the Preceptorship programme at the James Paget Hospital. Preceptorship is a period in which newly qualified staff nurses receive support from an experienced registered nurse to support their transition into the service.

She intends to scope the strengths and limitations of preceptorship in practice, refine the structures and processes to support the model of preceptorship and develop a toolkit. She hopes to roll out her evaluation protocol to be adopted across the East of England for others working in preceptorship roles in the future.
