Cited in the 2015 Willis review on nurse education as an exemplary system-wide approach for supporting learning in practice, Collaborative Learning in Practice (CLiP) is an innovative coaching model that empowers students to take the lead in their practice through creating positive learning cultures.

Collaborative Learning in Practice provides a detailed description of the CLiP model and explains how coaching can be integrated into a range of learning conversations. Written by an experienced team of practitioners, this unique text describes the theoretical basis of the CLiPmodel, highlights potential pitfalls and successes, and offers practical guidance on implementation. A wealth of real-world case studies demonstrates how the CLiPmodel works in a range of professional and practice settings, considering healthcare education, research and leadership. This authoritative book:

• Explores the use of reverse mentoring to update and share knowledge collaboratively
