Finding their own way

Article Abstract:

In an effort to help improve the practice of nurses involved in providing services for the elderly, South East Thames Regional Health Authority has been awarding two or three senior studentships each year to practising nurses. The studentships involve studying topics associated with the practice of caring for the elderly in hospital or in the community and have been awarded to 24 nurses to date. The studentships require independent, individual study and are felt to have made a significant contribution to the personal development of the nurses who have been awarded them.
