NURSE EDUCATION TODAY
Goodwill messages Maude Storey, Registrar, General Nursing Council It is with great pleasure that I extend my good wishes and welcome the initiative taken in publishing Nurse Education Today. Any new venture allied primarily to the educational aspects of nursing, midwifery, and health visiting deserves to be well received. With the advent of new legislation setting up statutory bodies to unite the professions we are entering a new era. The desirability for education on a continuum should be better enabled than in the past. It is thus a most appropriate time for a journal to be launched whose aims will be to range widely over education and research in nursing, midwifery, and health visiting at basic, post-basic, specialist, and clinical study levels. I wish the venture every success and look forward with interest and anticipation to reading the many features, items of interest, and valuable contributions which will, hopefully, flow from the pens of those of concerned with all aspects education.
Margaret Auld, Chief Nursing Officer, Scottish Home and Health Department May I wish your journal every success, and I will look forward to reading the first issue.
Ruth Ashton, General Secretary, Royal College of Midwives The Royal College of Midwives in its centenary year sends congratulations on the occasion of the launching of Nurse Education Today, and wishes the journal a long life and every success.
Vera Darling, Principal Officer, Joint Board of Clinical Nursing Studies May I take this opportunity to wish you well in this new venture. There are many aspects of nurse education
which will be under discussion in the next three years, particularly with the setting up of the new statutory framework, and I am sure that educationalists within the field of health visiting, midwifery, and nursing will appreciate having a forum for discussion of educational matters.
Professor Jack Hayward, Department of Nursing Studies, Chelsea College These are very important days for nursing education with changes in the governing bodies concerned, ambiguities over the roles of teachers of nursing, and profound questions as to whether both the content and method of our present educational system will be adequate for the needs of the future. A journal focusing specifically on nursing education could be a valuable source of information and forum for debate, which the profession should receive warmly.
Maureen Acland, Chairman, The Queen's Nursing Institute In a profession as complex as nursing, when new knowledge is constantly increasing and it is difficult to contain and use wisely all existing knowledge, the role of teachers and educators becomes crucial. And any instrument which promotes the communication of information and interaction of ideas in the field of nurse training and education has therefore a potential and responsibility to do much good in furthering prevention, care, and cure of disease. Nurse Education Today has the opportunity to be such an instrument, and will, I believe, be of great use and interest to those engaged in the nursing profession, be they students, teachers, or clinical practitioners. I wish the new journal every success, and send encouragement and very good wishes to ~ll those engaged in this most worthwhile enterprise.
Dame Phyllis Friend, Chief Nursing Officer, Department of Health and Social Security It gives me great pleasure to be able to welcome this addition to the journals concerned with nursing. The establishment of a journal devoted to professional education is
particularly timely as there will be a great need for exchange of information and for debate on this matter in the next few years. I wish Nurse Education Today every success.
L W Godfrey, Secretary, Panel of Assessors for District Nurse Training The Panel welcomes such a journal devoted, as it will be, wholly to the field of nurse education, and wishes the venture every success. Christine Chapman, Director of Nursing Studies, Welsh National School of Medicine I trust that Nurse Education Today will be a great success, and I wish it well. Professor Annie T. Altschul, Department of Nursing Studies, University of Edinburgh Congratulations on the birth of a new journal! It is a great pleasure, in a time of general gloom and atmosphere of cutting back, to know that something new and exciting is happening in nursing. A journal devoted to nurse education is very welcome, as a means of gaining up-to-date information, and also as a forum for discussion of topics of concern to teachers of nursing. Nursing is once again at a crossroad. Changes in nurse education will take place in the near future. It is good to know that through the medium of the new journal those who care about nurse education may have the opportunity to have some the direction of influence on change.
Letters YOUR TITLE It is with regret that I note the title of your new journal. Surely we are "nursing" and concerned with therefore with nursing education. In the proposed list of contents for April both terms are used and I am not able to see any rationale for it. I would make a plea for the Editorial Board to resolve this, as to the onlooker it appears to be nonsense. M. E. Gardner, Director of Nursing Education, Southmead Health District, Bristol.
