title: Getting the community involved in developing a PHC curriculum in Tonga.
abstract: To be relevant and effective, a nursing curriculum must reflect societal needs, health and community structures and resources. Below is a case study of a contractual collaboration between various stakeholders in a post-graduate programme based on primary health care in public health nursing in Tonga. It is one example of the influence and collaborative roles that communities play in the health of people.
