Southport & Ormskirk NHS Trust (S&O) is committed to ensuring that learning in practice for pre-registration nursing and midwifery students reflects Trust objectives in delivering the highest standard of care to our patients. We regard students as potentially part of our future workforce and wish to support them in acquiring the necessary values, attitude, compassion, knowledge and skills needed to be fit for practice and purpose.  

The Practice Education Team works to ensure that student learning in clinical placements at S&O reflects the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) standards of proficiency and the Higher Education Institute's (HEI) current curriculum provision. The team also work collaboratively with academic colleagues to facilitate the training and support for mentors across S&O. 
Achieving this high standard requires the continuous support and development of practice-based mentors in line with ‘Standards to Support Learning in Practice’ (NMC 2006/2008). This strong commitment to mentorship support is reflected in our mandatory training and support for both mentors and ‘sign-off’ mentors. 

S&O works in partnership with Edge Hill and Central Lancashire Universities. Adult and Child branch nursing students have the opportunity to learn and develop in a variety of clinical environments across the Trust in both inpatient & outpatient settings. The midwifery student experience is varied, taking place both in a hospital setting and with community midwifery teams. Students get the opportunity to follow a woman’s pregnancy and to learn how pregnancy affects her and her family.

The students annual evaluations reflect their excitement and passion for learning in such diverse environments. Students are valued as important members of the nursing and multidisciplinary team. S&O provides all students with a 2 day dedicated Trust Induction. This covers a range of topics including dementia awareness, Infection control, medication safety and caring for the deteriorating patient. This enables students to gain an understanding of the hospital environment they will be working in for the duration of their pre-registration course.
