title: Meeting continuing professional education needs.
abstract: The interest in the Diploma of Advanced Nursing Studies is indicative of the need and demand for flexible, student-centred learning opportunities that link theory with clinical practice. The programmes use study guides that offer students a sequential or problem-solving interactive vehicle between the student and teacher. Distance learning provides students with access to flexible learning opportunities when their choices are constrained by location and personal circumstances.
