Annotation	A quiet revolution has been under way in the educational support which nurses who choose to specialise in the nursing care of older people receive. Whereas in the past nursing was relatively isolated from social gerontology, it has now decisively aligned itself with this rapidly expanding academic discipline. It also continues to maintain and strengthen its traditional links with age-related medicine. The author outlines the way in which the discipline has developed from Marjorie Warren's work in the 1940s. He suggests ideas for access to information in social gerontology, including the Open University (OU) second level course, "An ageing society" (K256) and "New Literature on Old Age" from the Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA).
