preceptorship Resources

These preceptorship resources will support nurses, midwives and Specialist Community Public Health Nurses (SCPHN) in their transition to new roles and in practice settings. Not only from the point of registration, but also as they progress through their career. Furthermore, they aim to promote consistency in the provision and support offered by preceptorship programmes across Scotland.

Scotland’s Preceptorship Framework

Not only does this national resource aim to promote consistency in the provision and support offered by preceptorship programmes across Scotland. It also builds on the NMC Principles for Preceptorship and offers guidance to preceptees, preceptors, managers and the wider organisation.
