Curriculum Development in Nursing

Process and Innovations Education for nurses and allied health professionals is being radically overhauled both in the UK and overseas. Curriculum Development in Nursing offers nurse educators a single text that covers curriculum development processes, and highlights case study examples of innovation in approaches to nurse education. The book has been written by internationally well-known authors, who take a truly international perspective looking at education in the UK, Europe and the US, as well as in Africa and the Middle East.

This book will be an essential guide to curriculum development and will be an invaluable resource for nurse educators and postgraduate nursing students internationally.

Leana R.Uys is Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and also Head of the College of Health Sciences at the same university.

Nomthandazo S.Gwele was Professor and Head of the School of Nursing, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa during the preparation of this book, but is currently Executive Dean of Health Sciences at the Durban Institute of Technology in South Africa.
