Aim:
To explore the appropriateness of clinical academic coaching role as a tool for enhancing student learning and the development of advanced academic and clinical practice skills for nurses.

Data was analysed to develop understanding of how coaches were experienced by students as an aid to learning.
Findings:
Data indicates the role supported students through transition and provided learning support at crucial times in the academic journey. Specific skills and behaviours enhanced the coach-student relationship. The coach’s understanding of the clinical context was pivotal, as was effective preparation to undertake the coaching role.
Conclusion:
Supporting students to make the transition into advanced practice roles is a prominent issue within current healthcare literature. Clinical coaching enhances learning through a strong and coherent partnership between the student, their practice context and the academic journey.
