Mentors

The competency component of the Acute and Critical Care Programme at the Skills Institute depends on the hard work and commitment of the students and the work-based mentors.
 
The learner and mentor must negotiate time together to complete the competency document. This needs careful planning as the time-input required can be significant.
 
Individuals wishing to become a mentor for the students must have a mentor qualification and be current on the NMC register.
 
Those who have been mentoring learners on the Greater Manchester Multi-professional Critical Care Programme (GMMCCP) must undertake an update session with their Practice-Based Educator. Others must attend the Mentor Half Day study session to become familiar with the requirements of the course. Any individual wishing to become a mentor for the course must in the first instance approach their Practice-Based Educator.
