Board game

Masterful Mentoring is a board game from Focus Games designed to support nurse, midwife and AHP mentors during their annual updates. It provides a platform for reflective learning, sharing experiences and discussing what they could have done better and is built around NMC Standards. Masterful Mentoring makes annual mentor updates fun and engaging, by providing a game-based approach to reflective learning. Two teams compete to discuss and provide answers to common questions, scenarios and situations encountered by mentors. This gives them the opportunity to share best practice, learn from each other and consider improvements they could make to their mentoring style in the future.
Scenario cards cover key subject areas:

Establishing working relationships
Facilitation of learning
Assessment and accountability
Evaluation of learning
Creating an environment for learning

What Our Library Users Are Saying...

"Apprentices now have greater access to resources, not only at College or University but in the workplace. The benefits are not solely logistical; the resources and services available to them via the Library & Knowledge Service are current, relevant and varied."

"The library provided me with the evidence base to support a service development of developing a early discharge detox policy. This has improved patient clinical outcomes. This also reduces length of stay and re-attendance at A&E."

"Literature searches carried out by the library staff assisted in the development of a new education program for unregistered staff in response to the Francis report."

"The library carried out a literature search and provided my team with a wealth of relevant information from a variety of different sources that we were able to use within our poster presentation."

"The information I receive has a positive impact in my role as a Non-Executive Director. Over the past year in post I have found the library alerting service to be an invaluable resource it is a great way to be kept informed via the on-line platform that I can access at times to suit."
