Books in the Nurse Education in Practice series

Today's nursing students spend little time on clinical placement in hospital wards, where previous generations learned most of their skills. Bringing together some of their experiences, this book focuses on the central issues concerned with planning, implementing and evaluating clinical skills teaching and learning.

The suitability of problem-based learning (PBL) as a philosophy for nurse education in the new millennium is discussed through a series of reflective accounts by educationalists who have successfully implemented PBL.

A sequel to Multiprofessional Learning for Nurses, this book focuses on post-qualifying education, specifically interprofessional Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for qualified nurses.

Distance-learning has always been important in nursing and recent health policy initiatives have identified IT as key to professional development. This latest addition to the Nurse Education in Practice series supports nursing and healthcare lecturers as they develop and deliver e-learning courses, discussing both theory and practice.

Delivering effective health and social care, enhancing effective interprofessional collaboration and adopting effective teaching and learning strategies in the education of health and social care professionals, have become subjects of intense scrutiny and debate in recent years.

Current health policy places an emphasis on the greater involvement of health service users and carers in all aspects of their care, including planning, provision and evaluation. There is little patient involvement in 'before the event' experiences such as planning to meet health care needs, or in the training of health care practitioners.

Supporting Learning in Nursing Practice offers guidance to those seeking to review their individual and organisational strategies for supporting learning in practice within the rapidly changing context of nurse education.
