Teaching and Assessing in Nurse Practice: An Experiential Approach

This book provides an easy-to-read guide to the requirements of teaching in practice courses. It provides a balance of educational theory with practice and uses an experiential approach which recognises the stages through which learners progress and encourages them to reflect on and apply the principles to their own experiences. The major themes of the book are:
principles and practices of teaching, learning and assessing in clinical practice
principles and practice of quality management in education
creating a supportive learning environment
the importance of communication and counseling skills in the teaching role

The new edition will retain these essential themes, and reflect the recent context of nurse education and changes, both statutory and regulatory, within health and higher education. Updated areas include:
the political and professional issues confronting nurse education, including the Quality Assurance Agency
mentorship, preceptorship and clinical supervision
curriculum development, reflecting the roles of clinicians and managers

This book will remain an essential and accessible guide to all nurses and midwives with responsibility for teaching and assessing in any area of their practice.
