Maintaining the comprehensive coverage offered by the previous editions, this highly regarded text, now in its sixth edition and 32nd year of publication, is considered to be an indispensable resource for nurses and health care professionals engaged in the business of teaching and learning. Retaining the balance between theoretical issues and practical application, the text has been fully revised to reflect the most recent changes in nursing and nurse education including updated content on developments in teaching and learning, the introduction of the new NMC standards in the UK; developments in the NHS and the growing role of eLearning and technology.

In this book, the combination of principles and practical applications is maintained and developed in Frank Quinn's comprehensive discussion of nursing, midwifery, and health education, which can be equally applied to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, chiropody, and dietetics. The educational approaches of the book cover the whole field of adult education and include teaching patients, clients, and colleagues. It includes new chapters on such aspects as planning for teaching, quality assurance, educational delivery systems, and course management. It also incorporates major changes in approaches to UK nurse education over the last six years. An accompanying free website includes lesson plans, guides to learning outcomes, advice on classroom management, and links to the main regulatory bodies and organizations.
