Health and the curriculum: an illuminative evaluation--Part I: Methodology.

A six-month exploratory study commissioned in 1993 by the English National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting (ENB) is described in this two-part paper. The research evaluated the integration of a philosophy of health within pre- and post-registration curricula in England (Lask et al 1994). In Part I of the paper, a philosophy of health as a basis for the curriculum is discussed. This is followed by an outline of the project aims, methodology and the literature that informed our theoretical understanding of a philosophy of health. In Part 2(1) of the paper we present our main findings and discuss their implications for professional preparation and continuing education.

Gender matters.

The concept of gender is about more than just sex. Gender is made up of a system of meanings related to power and status. It operates at individual, interactional and cultural levels to structure people's lives (Unger and Crawford 1996). The aim of this learning unit is to explore issues concerned with gender and women's health. The unit discusses different approaches and strategies that nurses, midwives and health visitors can use to offer women progressive gender-aware health care.
