title: Benefits of a peripatetic port mentor.
abstract: Mentors play a crucial role in helping student nurses to develop their knowledge and skills, yet the quality of mentoring can be inconsistent. Peripatetic mentor support could promote consistency in placement learning by helping to bridge some gaps between clinical staff and universities. This article describes the introduction of a new role--peripatetic support mentor--and its benefits.
