Mentorship in Community Nursing: Challenges and Opportunities

By Judith Canham and Joanne Bennett

The importance of the community practice teacher is increasing withthe expansion in primary care. Universities around the country havedeveloped courses for practice educators to provide definitivetraining for that role - there are currently few texts that supportthese courses directly.

This book aims to redress this by covering eight specialistareas of community practice: district nursing, health visiting, school nursing, children's community health nursing, communitynursing mental health, community nursing learning disability, general practice nursing and occupational health nursing. Theemphasis is strongly on practical issues rather than theory andeach section considers practice-based dilemmas and offersappropriate debate.
