Health Care Education

The book presents an analysis of the new situation in health care education and argues that existing practices based on conventional approaches will be inadequate as the basis for securing a future role for colleges. By identifying necessary shifts in college organization, curriculum development practices and the role of nurse tutors, the book destabilizes existing paradigms of nurse education and provides a basis for a new approach. This book should be of interest to primary buyers; lecturers in nursing, midwifery and physiotherapy in the UK; middle and senior managers of colleges and facilities of health care studies; nurses involved in health care eduaction; regional, unit and trust managers involved in WP10 contracting; all courses preparing teachers for higher education, including Dip Ed, Cert Ed.
