One of the key mechanisms for facilitating learning for healthcare profession
students while on practice placements is mentoring. This mechanism is pretty
much well established now, and is indeed a very important component of pre-
registration education programmes, albeit using a handful of different titles by
different health and social care professions. Policy documents such as Standards
to Support Learning and Assessment in Practice (NMC, 2008a) provide firm indi-
cation of the criteria that healthcare professionals have to meet to use the title
‘mentor’, and details the capabilities that they need to fulfil the role effectively.
The first chapter of this book focuses on mentoring as a concept in its own
right, defines and differentiates it from similar and overlapping roles and titles,
examines the various reasons for mentoring and explores how to mentor
effectively. It also examines poor mentoring and how it can be redressed.
