title: How to use coaching and action learning to support mentors in the workplace.
abstract: Using the example of mentoring preregistration student nurses, this article explores facilitation of learning in the workplace and examines the use of coaching and action learning to support mentors and the wider clinical team. A case study, where a mentor has difficulties with an underperforming student, is considered. Action learning and coaching are then explored, with the aim of maximising personal and team learning. These strategies can be easily transferred to other work based learning situations.
