title: Collaboration puts the ENB Higher Award into practice.
abstract: The ENB Framework for continuing professional education and Higher Award for nurses, midwives and health visitors was introduced in April 1992. The framework outlines 10 key characteristics to guide practitioners in the integration of theory and practice. This paper describes how a group of teachers and practitioners have applied the framework. They explain how it helps pull theoretical learning and practice together for practitioners. For educators, involvement with practitioners has helped them be more involved in practice. Three-way, or tripartite, tutorial work between the practitioner, the teacher and the facilitator in the clinical area is central to the success of this initiative.
