title: A programme of supervised practice in a primary care trust.
abstract: Many of the internationally trained nurses who want to work as registered nurses in the UK are required to undergo a period of supervised practice (adaptation) in a health setting accredited by the NMC. This article discusses how a supervised practice programme was set up and managed in an inner-London primary care trust aimed at internationally trained nurses who are already resident in the UK.
