The role of the link teacher in the context of nurse education (2005)
Journal Article
Mitchell, M. (2005). The role of the link teacher in the context of nurse education. Nursing Times, 101(50), 33-36

Link teachers have historically been employed to encourage the utilisation of nursing theory in the clinical setting. However, evidence suggests that this role has done little to help establish a theory-practice link. This article outlines the concep...
