1 - Preceptorship Policy for General Practice Nurses and Nursing Associates

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) advocate that all newly qualified Nurses and Nursing Associates should receive preceptorship within their first-year post-registration or when transitioning into a different place of work.
The objectives of preceptorship are to welcome and integrate newly registered professionals into General Practice, help them grow in confidence and ultimately be retained within the team.
This policy provides a framework and set of common standards which will form the basis of implementing preceptorship.
