Preceptorship
The beginning of a newly qualified practitioner's career can be a challenging time. Initial experiences can shape how they develop in their career. To ensure the best possible start for newly qualified nurses, midwives and allied health professionals, a quality preceptorship programme is essential.
Southport & Ormskirk NHS Trust offers a 12 month preceptorship programme providing support and guidance for newly registered healthcare practitioners, facilitating the transition from student to practitioner. This allows time for you to consolidate your knowledge and experience different environments as a registered practitioner prior to settling in to your chosen department.
Throughout the first year, preceptees are visited and supported by clinical educators assigned to their clinical areas.

Preceptee
Your first year of professional practice is a busy time, settling into a new environment and adapting to your new role. This is the time to set up good habits that will enhance your professional practice.
Newly registered practitioners benefit from regular support by experienced practitioners during their first year of practice. Pivotal to this period of transition will be your 'Preceptor' supporting and guiding you, who will be allocated by your line manager.
This relationship is different to your previous relationship with your mentor/assessor/supervisor during pre-registration education. In this situation you are both accountable, registered practitioners and have shared roles and responsibilities. In addition to the corporate induction, clinical mandatory training and local orientation packages you will receive, there are development programmes available for nurses, midwives and AHP's to support your development.

Preceptor
A preceptor is a registered professional practitioner with at least twelve months experience within the same area of practice as the preceptee. The minimum requirement is that you are a Band 5 with 6-12 months post-qualifying experience. The role involves offering guidance, support and supervision to the newly registered practitioner. The preceptor will identify potential learning opportunities for the new staff member. Prospective preceptors will be determined locally by managers.
Your input in supporting our new practitioners is invaluable and we hope you will enjoy this challenging and rewarding experience. There is a training day available to support the preceptor role. This can be booked by your line manager. The preceptorship team are also on hand to offer advice and support to preceptors.
