A period of preceptorship is recommended to support newly qualified nurses in their new work environment, and to give them time to adapt and gain confidence.

The toolkit includes an organisational support tool, a managerial support framework, a supernumerary time tool and a local culture of support tool.

While there is considerable literature available on authentic nurse leadership, little has been written regarding its effect on newly qualified nurses. Therefore, the author undertook a scoping review of the literature on authentic leadership and newly qualified nurses. A total of 12 articles were found through database searches and included in the review. Thematic analysis of the articles identified two primary themes of 'well-being at work' and 'work environment', and two lesser themes of 'transition from student to nurse' and 'retention'. The scoping review found that authentic leadership has a positive effect on newly qualified nurses and that authentic leaders can develop genuine and trusted relationships, thereby promoting a supportive work environment for newly qualified nurses.</p>","PeriodicalId":74325,"journal":{"name":"Nursing management (Harrow, London, England : 1994)","volume":"27 3","pages":"28-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37807145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2015, the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Policy Research Programme commissioned research to examine the extent to which safe staffing policies have translated into practice locally in the NHS.

In the first phase, 39 children's nurses completed questionnaires about e-learning and its flexibility, accessibility, value and contribution to CPD.

A QI board was established to oversee the process and provide support, and QI champions were introduced to develop QI skills and capacity among staff across the locality mental health service's clinical teams. Improvements made by the QI champions during the first 12 months of the programme included: increased accuracy of electronic transfers of care; reduced readmission rates; the co-production of guides to engage ward-based staff; and the creation of digital staff stories.
