title: Model thinking.
abstract: Nancy Roper, Win Logan and Alison Tierney published their ground-breaking model of nursing in 1980, sparking the evolution of nursing theory from staid, biomedical thinking to an individualised, independent approach. Jane Salvage looks back at the lasting impact their research had on her and the profession as whole.
