Ole Isacson: Development of New Therapies for Parkinson's Disease
Published on: April 29, 2007
Abstract:
Practice education facilitators at a large health board in Wales have developed a lead mentor role for existing mentors who demonstrate positive role modelling. Lead mentors' responsibilities include supporting mentors and identifying their development needs. A study day for lead mentors was positively evaluated and pre-registration students have provided positive post-practice evaluation. Leadership and constructive teamwork have a positive effect on patient outcomes, and developing existing mentors is one way of achieving this.
