First Year Review
Thank you to all the health and social care organisations who completed our First Year Review during June 2023. The purpose of the First Year Review was to assess the status of preceptorship following the launch of the National Preceptorship Framework and resources in October 2022. The full analysis of the national results is available here. Each regional lead will be sharing results within our communities of practice and working with preceptorship leads to identify action plans going forward.
The National Preceptorship Framework and National Preceptorship Model for England are now available.
The National Preceptorship Programme was established in November 2021 to design, develop and deliver a Preceptorship Framework for Nursing for England and associated quality standards for all health and social care organisations.
Preceptorship plays a key role in retention by setting in place a structure to support newly qualified professionals, allowing them to translate their knowledge into everyday practice, grow in confidence and have the best possible start in their careers.
The National Preceptorship Framework was designed and developed in collaboration with stakeholders and came into effect in October 2022. Through partnership working with new registrants and the organisations and professional groups that support them, the programme has brought people together to learn from and share best practice. These collectively agreed set of standards and framework for good practice are flexible and can be adapted to different settings, locations and types of organisation. A suite of resources have also been developed to support implementation of the framework.
This exciting programme has been developed under the leadership of Dr Jane Wray (clinical lead) and Desiree Cox (programme lead), with support from seven regional preceptorship leads and their communities of practice.
