Enhancing learning environments by maximising support to mentors.
In June 2000 the role of the clinical education facilitator across the pan-Avon region (south west) emerged in response to the predicted increase in numbers of preregistration nursing students. The role focused on maximising the capacity of placements for students, and developing quality learning environments using innovative and creative methods. The role now encompasses maximising the support given to mentors who are balancing work pressures with students' needs.
