NHS Fife: NHS education for Scotland, facilitation of learning programme helping others to facilitate learning in the workplace

Clinical practice education is an essential aspect of staff learning and development, enabling practitioners to forge links between theory and practice.

This will include the ability to apply a range of tools to facilitate effective learning, supporting practitioners to plan learning activities that promote positive teaching and
