Abstract

The Department of Health has re-issued its document Preceptorship Framework for Nursing to encompass newly qualified midwives and allied health professionals (Department of Health, 2009; 2010). The aim of preceptorship in the spirit of the new framework is to ensure that newly qualified registrants (preceptees) have expert support to help them apply the academic knowledge they have gained.
