Flying Start Podcasts
As part of NHSGGC Let’s Talk Practice Education – Learn your way series of podcasts, the Practice Education Team have developed podcasts to add to the learning resources available within the NHSGGC Flying Start Portal. The addition of podcasts to our learning resources offers staff more flexibility with their learning.
The podcasts available are:
- Episode 1. Flying Start welcome
- Episode 2. Newly qualified practitioner (NQP) and the role of facilitator
- Episode 3. Communication and teamworking — Scenarios 1-4.
- Episode 4. Zones of discomfort and self development steps

The resources within the Flying Start Portal aim to support nurses, midwives and allied health professionals, in the first year of practice as newly qualified practitioners (NQPs), whilst undertaking the Flying Start programme. Facilitators may also find these resources helpful when supporting the NQPs through the programme.
Please note: The use of the resources contributes towards NHSGGC Protected Study time and CPD for NMC Revalidation and HCPC Standards
