These materials were developed for students on diploma and degree - and occasionally masters' - courses in Nursing, Midwifery and related healthcare professions, at UK universities.
The resources, written in a lively, engaging manner, are fully referenced, academically sound and adopt a student-centred approach to their writing and design. This reflects the aim of enabling students to be proficient in facilitating learning, assessing and evaluating, yet giving them the depth of understanding and academic rigour required at this level.
Although each resource was tailored to the specific requirements of individual institutions and courses, most versions contain similar topics. As an example, this contents list is from Facilitating Learning in Clinical Practice, produced for King Alfred's University College, Winchester.
