Health care is one of the fastest growing areas in terms of care, treatment and the exploitation of new technology in Slovenia. There is a great need for new approaches ensuring that education and work of health care professionals will be built upon the state of the art in nursing. As a consequence the educational, governmental and "industrial" institutions from Slovenia, UK, Italy and Greece have determined to work on above problem. EU agreed to support the project under the Phare Tempus Framework and the aim of this paper is to present an educational approach based on intelligent systems and its application in nursing education.
