The new Preceptorship Policy V3.0 has been live for some time now and we have been working in the background for the last few months to make navigating the policy easier.
The Principles of the Newly Qualified Paramedic Consolidation of Learning Programme has not been updated nationally since 2017 and this policy still reflects the principles within this national framework. This policy has undertaken a full rewrite to make it contemporaneous and now incorporates a number of separately published guides, to provide complete policy oversight of preceptorship at EEAST.
We have reviewed all comments and suggestions from last year’s NQP engagement survey, as well as feedback from past NQPs Final Progress Review meetings and recommendations made by Health Education England (HEE). We hope these changes will promote a more meaningful way to evidence the development of your practice, to enable you to meet the standards required by the HCPC.
Points of Note
We have updated a number of key documents to support our preceptees which we hope will make the 2-year consolidation period easier and answer a lot of your questions.
These will be available on East24 in the next week and all T&E LOMs and AGMs will be emailed copies.
We will be arranging a virtual office monthly, where any NQPs can drop in on teams to speak to one of the CPS team for any queries or questions. Details to be released soon.
Special thanks must go to the MST team at Peterborough who have spent a lot of time interpreting the Preceptorship Policy to make the new portfolio document user friendly.
Any queries or questions please email NQP@eastamb.nhs.uk
Many Thanks
The Clinical Practice Specialist Team (CPS)
