  • Title: Faculty practice: a model to bridge the theory-practice divide.
    Author: Allen D.
    Journal: Br J Community Nurs; 2000 Oct; 5(10):504-10. PubMed ID: 12181519.
    Abstract:
    It has been suggested that as a result of nurse education withdrawing from the clinical setting and becoming established in institutions of higher education, there has been a separation of theory from practice. Recognition of the theory-practice gap by clinicians and professional bodies has led to calls for nurse educators to retain a clinical focus. Faculty practice is described and critically discussed as a model of practice to bridge the theory-practice divide. In this article, the author presents the results of a 6-month pilot study to implement such a model within a community trust, and suggests that the development of such initiatives will foster collaborative working and improve nurse education and patient care.
