title: Mentorship in nursing and midwifery education: issues for research.
abstract: Despite an apparent concensus that mentorship is an important aspect of learning in the practice continuum, there has been no real critical appraisal of the literature for its research base. References to published work on mentorship may merely uncritically repeat non-researched statements which, in turn, may not always be relevant to nursing and midwifery education in the UK. This paper sets out to begin to construct a research agenda for mentorship, free of statutory and regulatory constraints about meaning and practice.
