Preceptorship

Since January 2015 Mark has supported hospital and services, across the UK, with ensuring the preceptorships they offer are as good as they can be.
This role has developed to cover a variety of areas and he now criss-crosses the country attending careers fairs at universities and job fairs, support units with open days and liaising with universities regarding placements and opportunities to promote Elysium Healthcare, while providing support and supervision for staff on the Preceptorship Academy. 

Mark has aided Elysium Healthcare in securing RCN Accreditation for the Preceptorship they offer and supported the programme to be shortlisted for a national award in 2018.

Marks workshop, on Preceptorship, has a focus on ensuring that any nearly qualified nurse knows what to look for in a programme, what to ask about and most of all, how to get what you need from your future employer!

Mark has lead on Preceptorship in the independent sector for 5 years. With his experience working as a HCA before qualifying as a RMN in 2004, knowledge gained as a Management of Violence and Aggression Tutor for 6 years and training staff in H&S, BLS and other areas, he understands the amount of pressure a newly qualified nurse can feel, when starting in that first new job. Be that on the ward or even that first day in induction!

Mark has spent his time speaking with hundreds of students, listening to what they want in a Preceptorship and has supported almost 300 newly qualified nurses through their Preceptorship. With the backing of Elysium Healthcare, the programme has been accredited by the RCN and delivers two cohorts, starting 6 months a part, with 11 days of training over 12 months away from hospital services!

That’s why Elysium Healthcare feel they lead the field in Preceptorship and during Marks talks you will learn more about how to ask the right questions at a job fair. When you should be asking them, of your potential employer and yourself and how to
