Abstract
The new syllabus for both general and psychiatric nurses, Project 2000, is a manifestation of the gradual revolution taking place in nursing. It attempts to address some long-standing issues which have concerned the profession in several countries. The resolution of these issues will determine the role of nurses as members of the multidisciplinary team and effect cooperation and interactions therein.

Summary
Project 2000 is intended to improve the academic standards of the nursing profession which sees itself as becoming more active in a primary preventive role. Vawieawrenthesast aonf eaclllecatsipcecatpsproofachpatiwenhtisc'h pprroobmleomtess, including the medical and biochemical, is essential She feels that nursing theories should relate closely to those used by the medical profession. Nursing models or theoretical frameworks are seen by many educators as vehicles towards professionalisation These models will guide future nursing philosophy. The differing models reflect the diverse approaches, but some have been adopted with inadequate testing While they provide a useful framework, further research is needed into their effectiveness. Models aim to focus on the consumer, but the approach is dic tatorial and focuses only on the nursing perspective She feels that they can be useful aids to discussion and the organisation of thought and that using mul tiple models could stimulate creative thinking but that they should be modified according to research findings
