Author(s): GALET, E.

Abstract: This paper discusses a project to develop a small scale ongoing training programme in touch/massage therapy. Approached by the Nurse Manager for Care of the Elderly Unit the authors, two nurse lecturers, set about planning with the staff a programme specific to the requirements of both the staff and their clients. The activity resulted not only in a successful popular course, but also that the massage/touch techniques learnt were utilised in clinical practice with recorded positive effects and comments from clients.
