Abstract
Establishing a philosophy to guide clinical practice is widely regarded as desirable. The articulat ion of a philosophy is considered by Wright to be the first step in building a model of nursing (1), and the university which is the source of students for the author’s ward has made the existence of a philosophy statement a prerequisite for teams wishing to have students attend tlxir wards. This article relates how a nursing team used the technique of focused group interviews to allow its members to voice their feelings oixr the direction of an established ward philosophy, and how the changes they suggested were incorporated into a revised statement.
