Preparing the advanced practitioner in learning disabilities nursing.

This paper aims to describe the practical, therapeutic and educational dimensions of professional preparation in the field of Learning Disabilities Nursing. Through an exploration of the primary, secondary and tertiary dimensions of care, the authors identify the range of skills and competencies which they consider necessary for the achievement of advanced practice in this specialist field. Arguments are proposed which demonstrate the essential and continuing role of the nurse through a consolidation of the three dimensions of care. In so doing, an educational foundation for advanced practice which enables the nurse to work effectively within present and future health and social care initiatives is proposed.

Nurse Education Tomorrow Conference 1990. Preparing nurse teachers for their future role.

For over a decade general education has been aware of the advantages of linking initial teacher training with in-service provision for qualified teachers. This relationship brings together student teachers and qualified experienced teachers in a way that is mutually beneficial to both parties. It provides opportunities for the student to observe and reflect on the teaching style and approaches of established professionals who in turn will gain much from working closely with trainers and students from colleges of education. This paper develops a series of issues relating to IT-INSET including educational accountability, reflective practice, and the provision of quality education.
