Clinical skills laboratories: teaching practical nursing. 1996

P Hilton

This article describes the development and subsequent use of a clinical skills laboratory in one school of nursing and midwifery. It aims to allow students more time to practise psychomotor skills which clinicians, managers, educationalists and students themselves have perceived to be lacking in students since the implementation of Project 2000. The author suggests that this teaching strategy facilitates skill acquisition, increases students' confidence, and may in the long term help to bridge the theory-practice gap.
