title: Assessment of a study day to recognise the value of mentors.
abstract: An acute trust has developed a successful one-day programme for nurse and midwife mentors to acknowledge the importance of their role and recognise their worth to the organisation. The programme content and its usefulness for practice were evaluated using a short questionnaire. Results showed that attendees valued sessions on the importance of mentoring, learning styles, managing difficult students and managing time.
