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.
