Abstract

This short paper will set the scene for the rationale behind the greater involvement of service users, carers and consumers in health care education. It will take an international perspective across the UK, Australia and North America and will briefly present and critique a range of different models and approaches that are being promoted. It will introduce three practical examples of approaches that have been evaluated in one School of Nursing & Midwifery in the UK. From these there are apparent transferable principles and obvious lessions to be learnt for professional education across health care and in different cultures.
