The iHV Preceptorship Framework was developed to recognise the higher levels of autonomy and specialist knowledge and skills that health visitors require, beyond their first level registration as registered nurses and registered midwives. This much-needed Framework will support best practice for preceptorship programmes for health visitors across the UK.
The iHV UK Preceptorship Framework for Health Visiting was developed through an extensive collaborative process with a wide range of experts and stakeholders from all four nations of the UK. It is designed to outline best practice standards for high-quality preceptorship for health visitors and complement relevant country-specific legislation, statutory requirements, organisational policies and procedures.
