Introducing Preceptor Plus eLearning course

Elsevier partnered with the Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF) to develop this comprehensive eLearning course for current and new preceptors. Preceptor Plus equips nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals with evidence-based strategies to enhance leadership capabilities, improve patient outcomes, and strengthen clinical practice.

Our Preceptor Plus Course provides:

  • 16 modules covering leadership, advocacy, assessment, role modelling, learning facilitation, cultural diversity, conflict resolution, and helps preceptors effectively convey information about roles, responsibilities, and organisational expectations.

  • Interactive Learning: Persona-based knowledge checks, case studies, and practical vignettes that develop essential teaching and mentoring capabilities.

  • Measurable Impact: Track preceptor progress and development through structured assessments and clear learning pathways.

  • Expert-Validated Content: Created through partnership between Elsevier and the Florence Nightingale Foundation, incorporating best practices from global healthcare leaders.

  • Flexible, customisable tailored content: each module is customisable and designed to take one hour to complete. This allows preceptors to select lessons that are relevant to their goals, saving time and providing flexibility.

Effective preceptorship programs have been proven to boost retention rates and improve care quality. Around 1 in 5 nurses leave the NHS within their first two years of qualifying due to a number of factors, including lack of support, stress and financial worries.1
