title: Writing for publication: a new skill for nurses?
abstract: In this article, we outline a voluntary staff development course - Writing for Publication - and its operation in the context of changing policy, practice and professional demands. One year from course completion we are in a position to discuss its success. We argue that, in a small but significant way, a paradigm shift in nursing is reflected in requests for the course, and for places on it. Clearly, there are new professional needs to be met.
