Abstract

A focus group explored the experiences of nurse academics working at a university in the UK, who are experienced in supporting nursing students who are not meeting NMC standards. The focus group examined how the role is managed in relation to underperforming students; the challenges faced and the support needed. The themes identified and
discussed include; expectations and conflict, tacit expert knowledge and emotional labour. Recommendations for future practice include the need for clarity around roles, dedicated time and resources, and clear mechanisms to share best practice.
