The first and second editions of this book established itself as a successful and accessible guide to the important teaching roles which nurses, midwives and health visitors fulfil. Since its publication, there have been far-reaching changes in both nurse education and practice, and the second edition has been revised extensively to reflect these changes. This edition retains the relevance to nursing practice and user-friendly approach which was valued by practitioners. It has been designed to explore the whole process of teaching and learning and how you can use it in your practice, whether with students, patients or other health care professionals. Activities help you reflect on your experience and relate the ideas to your own practice. Each chapter starts with a clear list of learning objectives and ends with a glossary of terms as well as annotated further reading and extensive references. The third edition will be fully updated according to latest developments adding material suitable for physiotherapists.
