Introduction

11
The nurse is a carer, organizer, educator and agent of connectivity between the society
and healthcare practitioners but only 21% of clinicians are funded by Medicare. The roles of
nurses may be improved by encouraging the role of the nurse as an educator. However, drives to
optimize health and reduce risk of nurses can improve the communication of chronic disease
management and dissemination of lifestyle risk communication by nurses (James, et al., 2014).
The following is an overview of the topic for study:
 Evaluation of the impact of patient/carer education, involvement and engagement
in Education and healthcare.
 Contemporary issues in Patient education, Patient involvement and engagement
practices for nurses.
