We ensure there is a strong support system in place, including skills supervisors and fully trained preceptors. As well as providing support for the nurses on the programme we also support the preceptors to reach their potential in that role. The programme is always developing and expanding meaning we are able to be responsive to feedback and provide a dynamic programme for newly qualified nurses to follow.
