title: Educational developments for the practice nurse specialty.
abstract: A number of constraints have hitherto prevented practice nurses from meeting their learning needs. In this paper the author outlines the new educational opportunities coming on stream in the wake of the UKCC PREP initiative. The need for a range of educational programmes is stressed and the key elements of a diploma course for practice nurses in north London are also explained.
