Multi-Professional Preceptorship Programme
ur Multi-Professional Preceptorship Programme is a period of structured transition which aims to welcome and integrate newly registered professionals into their new team at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust. Our objective is to help these professionals translate their knowledge into everyday practice, grow in confidence, and understand how to apply the code in their profession.
Preceptorship can also be access if you are in a workforce transition as part of your ongoing development and support. This could be in your current specialty, accessing a second register or retire and return professional.
It is built around the trust core values of providing safe, personal and effective care and developing transitional competencies to support Preceptees through their first year of registration and beyond. Completing our Preceptorship Programme enables our Preceptees to transform from students to autonomous practitioners with ease
