title: A review of operating department practitioner preceptorship.
abstract: This project aimed to review current practice within a large National Health Service teaching hospital and to provide a rationale for implementing a change to existing working practice. At the time, operating department practitioners only received a period of mentorship as part of the Trust induction course. There is evidence to support changes to current practices in the directorate with a view to implementing a more structured preceptorship programme.
