Abstract

Mentorship is becoming an important aspect of professional development among all healthcare professionals. What was once understood as purely the domain of nurse registrants in teaching and assessing student nurses is now being considered to support healthcare assistants (HCAs) in their professional development. This article introduces some of the benefits of mentorship for HCAs and how this can ultimately improve care delivery.
