Riassunto

A unit of open learning materials -- part of Churchill Livingstone's Healthcare Active Learning open learning series, published in conjunction with authors from the Open Learning Foundation -- for nursing and allied health students at the following levels: - Pre-course students with a knowledge deficit - Foundation level students (e.g. Common Foundation Programme nursing students following the Project 2000 programme) - Diploma level students - Post-registration nursing students who did not follow the P2000programme (and therefore received less life sciences classroom coverage) - Students studying for further qualifications, up to and including a degree Benefits to students include: A resource for self education and a gateway to improved practice for the busy health care practitioner and student. By expertly combining the skills and knowledge of seasoned health care professionals with those of experienced educators, this unit gives the student access to high quality educational opportunities, by removing many institutional barriers (e.g. teacher availability, time restrictions) that deny this access particularly to part-time workers, night staff, and those with domestic arrangements which exclude conventional course attendance. Benefits to managers and education providers include: Students following a course of self study allows teachers to provide more one-to-one teaching and reduce class sizes. It also allows time savings to be made on course development and planning. The quality of the materials and their effectiveness is ensured by the reputations and experience of the Open Learning Foundation member institutions, each of which is dedicated to creating a framework for effective, flexible learning. The Physiology unit offers approximately 20 hours of study.
