A significant amount of research has been undertaken, particularly in examining clinical learning environments and the difficulties experienced in the use of research based knowledge in practice. This book explores the broad underlying problems that have emerged and focuses on some of the approaches that are being developed to overcome them. The introduction of the innovative lecturer-practitioner role is a prime example of one effective solution. Many of the key issues that have been uncovered by research are presented and some of the ways in which the interface between the ideals of theory and the realities of what happens in practice are described. All the contributors are experienced practitioners who have been involved closely with initiatives which could provide links between theory and practice. The situations they describe and their solutions will be relevant to diploma and degree students, nurses working for higher post-registration qualifications, teachers and nurse managers who want to develop practice roles. * Key topic of concern * Leading and experienced practitioner authors * Relevant to students AND qualified practioners * No other similar book 'This book will be of interest to nurses who wish to investigate the problems of the theory-practice gap.' - Journal of Advanced Nursing, April 1995 'Forward looking practitioners and managers should find this book stimulating and thought provoking.' - British Medical Journal, July 1995 'Martha MacLeod's chapter, based on the everyday practices of experienced surgical ward sisters makes us question and re-vision the very notion of the 'theory-practice' gap and is alone worth the price of the book. This will be a popular book on all under and post graduate nursing courses and should be in good supply on the library shelves.' -
