Delivering neonatal workplace education is increasingly challenging. Many neonatal Nurse Educators are required, not only to provide education specific to the specialty area, but to deliver and ensure organisation-wide mandatory education is maintained by all staff as well. The aim of this research was to identify the challenges of workplace-based education for neonatal nurses in clinical tpractice. This paper, the first part of the whole study, draws from literature on current examples of workplace education to explore suitable models for the 21st century neonatal nurse. Workplace-based education requires strategies which satisfy different learning needs, be easy to access at the point of care and is relatively quick and cheap to deliver. Mobile technology has potential to achieve this and complement other more costly and time-consuming workplace-based learning strategies.
