Seminar Papers since 2000

In the academic year 2000-2001 the UKCHN hosted four seminars in different parts of the United Kingdom. Since then the UKCHN, in collaboration with others, has hosted further seminars. We are delighted to publish the papers delivered at these seminars on the website.

At the end of the year the UK Centre was delighted to collaborate with the Department of Nursing Studies of the Univerisity of Edinburgh in A Festschrift for Annie Altschul to celebrate the contribution to nursing of Professor Annie Altschul. The papers of Professor Altschul that formed the central core of this celebration are now published for the first time on the UKCHN website. We also publish the celebratory papers offered at the event and a bibliography of Professor Altschul's work.
