Using Patient Experience in Nurse Education cover

'A valuable resource for all involved in providing learning opportunities for nursing students and other healthcare professionals. The involvement of patients in healthcare and nurse education has now become so integral to all aspects of healthcare that all those involved in the provision of nurse education would benefit from reading this book.' - The Times Higher Education Supplement

Current health policy places an emphasis on the greater involvement of health service users and carers in all aspects of their care, including planning, provision and evaluation. There is little patient involvement in 'before the event' experiences such as planning to meet health care needs, or in the training of health care practitioners.Current health policy places an emphasis on the greater involvement of health service users and carers in all aspects of their care, including planning, provision and evaluation. However, the focus is usually on 'after the event' accounts - i.e. when individuals have become consumers of health care services. There is little patient involvement in 'before the event' experiences such as planning to meet health care needs, or in the training of health care practitioners. This book fills that gap, and meets a growing demand for educational approaches that address the perspectives of patients and carers.
