The Practitioner as Teacher, 4e

Do you mentor student nurses and/or newly registered nurses?
This is a trusted handbook on how to teach others: peers, students, patients and relatives.
Using a 'talking through' strategy this is a practical 'How to' guide, rather than an academic treatise, with a much stronger focus on the use of competencies.

Sections focus on these key areas:
. How people learn
. How to teach
. How to use competencies in teaching
. How to support learners
. How to assess teaching & learning

. Learning objectives begin each chapter
. Sets teaching within the context of nursing and education
. Aids the teaching of reflective practice
. Activities and exercises reinforce learning
. Cartoons illustrate significant points.

This edition has been updated in the areas of:
. The Knowledge and Skills Framework (part of Agenda for Change)
. Competency-based practice
. NVQs - National Vocational Qualifications
. Re-registering with the NMC
. Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL).
