Many changes have taken place in nursing both at national and local levels in the 1980s. The role of the nurse has expanded, and the focus of that role has shifted from one based on medicine and disease to a patient and client-centred approach. These have been major factors in re-evaluations of nursing curricula, while new courses are continuing to be developed.
The topics in this book range from curriculum content and innovation to evaluation. All are set against the perspective of contemporary nursing and related to issues such as nursing models and professional roles. The book will be of historical importance for nurses with a teaching role, nursing administrators, educationists, students studying to be tutors and clinical teachers and others concerned with the history of nursing education.
