title: Preparing for primary nursing.
abstract: Nurses involved in the practice of primary nursing require continuing education and support to enable them to carry out their responsibilities competently. Christopher Turnock argues that nurse education has a major role to play in the planning and implementation of primary nursing at clinical level, and sets out the provisions of a three modular programme designed by nurses educationalists in Newcastle. Despite initial difficulties for students in integrating theory to practice, course evaluations have so far been positive.
