Constructive feedback is essential for effective workplace learning as it reinforces safe
practice, corrects unsafe practice and provides direction for improving nursing practice. This
paper provides a commentary on the current feedback dialogue and identifies the essential
factors for effective feedback related to learning in the workplace: Feedback is affected by
the workplace context; individual educator and learner characteristics; the content, delivery
and timeliness of feedback; the regularity and frequency of feedback; and whether or not
feedback is accepted as a norm of nursing practice in the workplace.Constructive feedback is essential for effective workplace learning as it reinforces safe
