title: Nurse education consultancy: a new role.
abstract: Market philosophy is transforming nurse education, an arena where alternative values and beliefs have been important. Such philosophy challenges nurse teachers to rethink their roles and consider what they might have to offer the profession either working within an institution or independently. This paper will explore the role of the nurse education consultant, examining what is implied by the term 'consultation' and what this might mean within a consultation process. Consultancy may be used to help colleges to market effectively and ethically, when the benefits of long term investment in education may not otherwise be apparent.
