title: Support for nurses who are new to emergency care.
abstract: Starting work as a newly registered nurse in an emergency department can be a daunting experience. Some studies suggest there is a gap between what such nurses learn and how they put it into practice. This article examines the implementation of a practice-based learning programme, the Foundations of Emergency Practice, at four trusts across London to equip inexperienced nurses with the skills to practise safely and effectively.
