A NEW book written by two University of Ulster academics is set to become essential reading for nurse lecturers across Europe.
Nursing Education: Planning And Delivering The Curriculum is a strategic guide with a practical focus on designing and management of nursing education programmes.
The latest book to be published on nursing education in the UK and Ireland, it has been written by Pat Deeny, senior lecturer from the School of Nursing at Magee, and Professor Emeritus Jennifer Boore.
“This book explains how to develop tailored education programmes so that nurse educators and clinicians can help students provide up-todate and appropriate patient care, the goal of all high quality nursing programmes,” said Mr Deeny.
“It integrates theory with practice, providing guidance on how nursing students can achieve the essential skills needed to meet professional practice requirements.
The launch of the innovative text comes just weeks after the Nursing and Midwifery Council monitoring results for 2011-2012 showed that Ulster was one of only two approved education institutions to get an ‘outstanding’ grading for practice learning and one of only five institutions to get ‘outstanding’ in any of the five areas monitored.
