The Mcgill Model Of Nursing - 1860 Words

This paper looks at the McGill model of nursing created by Moyra Allen with developmental assistance from her colleagues at McGill University. It focuses on maintaining health and the prevention of illness in the client, family and community. The use of this model when dealing with the current societal problem of obesity is largely effective, not solely for obesity but also the illness and disease that can occur along side it.

However, at first Allen called her model the â€Å"Developmental Health Model†, with the intent of separating nursing from other health care jobs, she later renaming it the McGill model.
