Preface
This book is primarily written for mentors (the term ‘mentor’ encompasses the roles of supervision and coaching) who work in a healthcare setting in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales. The term ‘healthcare professional’ is used throughout the book, and refers to staff who are registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) or Health Professional Council (HPC). The chapters provide a range of theoretical and practical activities and resources that articulate and are enhanced by accompanying web pages.
How to use the book
Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of mentorship. Learning outcomes are provided at the start of each chapter to enable the reader to choose the most appropriate areas to study. Before launching into the chapters, it is suggested that the readers access a set of pre-test questions, available from the companion website at . Feedback from the questions will enable the reader to establish where their strengths and weaknesses in knowledge lie. The same questions are repeated at the end of each chapter where full explanations are provided. The accompanying web pages (called Web resources) provide stimulating and thought-provoking activities, points for reflection, scenarios and PowerPoint presentations to further enhance the reader’s understanding. The web activities are identified in the book with the following icon:
All third party web links referred to in the text are also available from the companion website.
This book is a practical resource that promotes active participation and enhances a deeper level of understanding of mentorship. It is a book that the reader can dip in and out of as well as being a source of reference.
