Sumario:Enquiry-based learning (EBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) are two similar methods of educating nurses and midwives which have been recommended by the UKCC in its new report 'Fitness for Practice' (UKCC, 1999). The integration of theory and practice within the student programme is the key to bridging the theory/practice gap. The incorporation of EBL and PBL into the curriculum may help resolve this gap. As these methods of education foster teaming through the use of real client scenarios it is important to stress that the partnership between clinical and academic staff is of paramount importance. This article explores EBL and PBL from the practitioner's perspective and examines some of the factors necessary for its successful implementation.
