Abstract
The study is unique when mapped against other research studies as it explores a breadth of evaluative issues not found in other preceptorship studies, e.g. engagement, impact, value and sustainability of preceptorship. The study adds insights about sustainability of preceptorship programmes and expectations of competence of NQNs that do not appear in previous literature about preceptorship.
