Abstract
A great deal has been said about the need for health professionals to move away from a disease model of care and place more emphasis on health and its promotion and maintenance. One way of introducing a health approach to the service is to emphasise it in the basic education of nurses and doctors. The curriculum for the BA Nursing Studies programme at Glasgow College of Technology is based on a health model for nursing, a model based on activities of living. Initially the emphasis is on health and then the move is towards the study of dysfunction and disease processes. However, a strand of health education is retained throughout the programme, and students are encouraged to identify opportunities for health teaching in both hospital and community settings. The 4 1 3 - year nursing programme gives a framework for a health approach which looks towards the year 2000.
