Background
- Clinical nursing: heavy emphasis on practice-based professional learning (PBPL), especially in OT.
- Clinical theories and knowledge: rely heavily on observation, hands-on practical and on-the-job training (OJT).
- Passing of knowledge traditionally involves preceptorship or preceptor shadowing, writing down of notes and direct experiences with surgeries and surgeons.
- Traditionally, preceptorship offers a form of experience with seniority. Preceptors may often advise juniors to record whatever is learnt, crammed into an individual notebook.
- Surgeons’ preference lists are commonly managed by an assigned group of nurses. Preference lists may lack standardisation or be outdated.
