About this book

Intended for those who are becoming first-time General Managers in the Health Service, this book is for those confronted by a much wider range of issues than previously experienced in their clinical roles. Using a case study approach, which ranges over hospital and community management issues, the book will help the reader to work through managerial crises at a practical level. '...a fine collection of authors contribute very interesting chapters...a book which is enjoyable to read.' Nursing Times '...it is one of the best books of its kind...it should be read widely...its direct relevance to clinical nurses is beyond doubt, and its price makes it a good buy.' Senior Nurse
