Students' practice experience is now widely acknowledged as being one of the most important parts of their educational preparation in health and social care. New government guidelines place great emphasis on partnerships between the NHS and Higher Education Institutions, and there is a greater expectation for both lecturers and trained nurses to be jointly responsible for the education and training of students on placements. Supporting Learning in Nursing Practice offers guidance to those seeking to review their individual and organisational strategies for supporting learning in practice within the rapidly changing context of nurse education.
