Abstract:Mentoring student nurses and supporting learners in the UK has been under scrutiny following the Shape of caring review (Lord Willis 2015). Findings revealed that traditional 1:1 mentoring was no longer the most effective strategy for robust assessment of nursing students in practice. A variety of practice education models have subsequently been piloted and implemented in the practice arena. A pivotal theme underpinning these approaches has been the philosophy of coaching. Students` experiences of receiving coaching vs mentoring in the learning environment has been reported by Lobo (2015) however there is limited information on the preparation of staff for the role of coach.
This paper reports on the value of a one day coaching training course delivered to qualified healthcare staff in twelve different NHS healthcare trusts. The aim of the training was to introduce the skills and principles of coaching that could be used to support new ways of facilitating student learning in practice.
