Abstract
Professional healthcare is an important component of the welfare service provision of a modern society. Healthcare is delivered by a wide range of healthcare professionals in both the public and private sectors. Typically, healthcare professionals are divided into medical and nursing staff. In this book, healthcare education refers to degree programmes for professions such as nursing, midwifery, emergency treatment, physiotherapy, public health nursing and radiography. The names given to these nursing-based professions vary across the world including within Europe, where much effort has been made to standardise the terminology used in these healthcare education programmes.
