Course Information
These are the dates for all five face to face structured learning sessions planned for your cohort, across the 12 months of your Preceptorship.
These sessions are designed to support your transition from student to autonomous professional, meet other early career professionals, and deepen your understanding of the operation and objectives of the Trust
Learning Outcomes
During your first preceptorship session, you’ll be
introduced to the programme and meet the facilitators who offer pastoral
support over the next 12 months. This session begins your transition from
university to practice, offering space to reflect on how your learning connects
to real‑world clinical work, and what this means within Mersey Care.
Each session in the programme has been endorsed by senior
leaders from across the Trust. You’ll hear key messages from the Trust Board
about our strategic direction, and explore how the Perfect Care goals link
directly to everyday clinical practice.
Across the programme, you will:
- Strengthen
your professional identity while working within multidisciplinary
teams, gaining insight into the roles and responsibilities of colleagues
across the system.
- Develop
confidence in clinical decision‑making, including consent, capacity,
medication, and applying patient and carer perspectives—alongside learning
from situations that don’t go as planned.
- Explore
ways to improve quality of care, understanding how you can positively
influence service improvement within the Trust.
- Enhance
your ability to support learners within your clinical area.
- Build
your understanding of trauma‑informed care, how trauma shapes a
patient’s engagement with services, and how vicarious trauma can impact
staff. You’ll also learn strategies for maintaining resilience and the
value of supervision.
As you approach the end of your 12‑month preceptorship,
you will be guided through the wide range of career pathways available—whether
your future lies in clinical practice, leadership, research, or education.
