The purpose of this book is to provide students with material related to the standards of education. The students will be able to use the contents of this text and relate it to their own approved programme of study, as their programme of study would have had to have complied with NMCs requirements. It is anticipated that it will help student nurses appreciate how their own programmes have been designed, and why they are required to study and understand some of the subjects they are, or will be studying. This text will be produced in an accessible and user friendly manner.
