An educational support group.
This article describes an educational support group (ESG) for a cohort of RMN student nurses and two of their teachers. The group, which ran for about one year, had a double task. Its educational task was for members to learn experientially about group theory and practice. The other task was for the group to provide support for members in their educational endeavours generally. Evaluation during and after the group's term demonstrated that the members had moved through the classical stages of group theory, and had emerged with stronger peer relationships and better communication between students and teachers.
