The case studies are particuarly helpful.Recommended as core reading for all students undertaking the mentoring courseA comprehensive guide that will supplement the existing reading list on mentoring student midwives. Whilst the status of all midwife mentors (sign-off) is different to that of nurse mentors, the principles of guiding good mentorship practice underpins BOTH professional groups.A valuable resource for mentors incorporating policies and research in the field of mentorship studies.
