A programme of learning for newly qualified staff devised and implemented at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust in London since 1998. The aim of the programme is to enhance the quality of patients care through developing competent, accountable and reflective practitioners. The evaluation of the programme highlighted that 67% of the newly qualified nurses stated that the support of their preceptor and clinical development nurse had played a significant role in assisting them to apply the knowledge they had acquired in clinical workshops to their clinical environment (Dzik-Jurasz 2001).

It's fine, good grammar, correct spelling, but it's a bit stilted and looks as though you copied it verbatim from an old textbook. And, based on "programme," I'd guess it's from an old British textbook. I'd lighten it up a bit and - I hope - make it a bit easier to understand, by changing it to something along the following lines:
A program of learning for newly qualified staff was devised and put into practice at Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Trust in London in 1998. The aim of the program was to enhance the quality of patient care by developing competent, accountable, and reflective practitioners. The program evaluation highlighted the fact that 67% of the newly qualified nurses indicated that the support of their preceptor and clinical-development nurses ("NURSES" SHOULD BE PLURAL HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE INFO THAT ALL THE NEW NURSES HAD THE SAME (ONE) PRECEP AND CLIN-DEVEL NURSE AND ALSO THAT YOU KNOW THAT ONE NURSE WAS BOTH THE PRECEP AND THE CLIN-DEVELOP NURSE AND NOT TWO NURSES FOR TWO SPECIALTIES. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANY MORE THAN WHAT IS IN THIS PARAGRAPH, IT'S BETTER TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF PLURALIZING "NURSES.") had played significant roles in assisting the new nurses in applying the knowledge they had recently acquired in clinical workshops to their new clinical environment (Dzik-Jurasz 2001).
Hope this helps. I also hope I didn't just do your homework for you - :)

If this is homework then you should not be asking the good people here to correct your English. However, your first sentence does not make any sense. It should if anything read: A programme of professional development for newly qualified staff was devised, and implemented by Guy's and St Thomas' N.H.S. Primary Care Trust, in London, in 1998.

I agree with Sprite the first sentence is a bit wrong but other than all spelling, punctuation and grammar is correct.
