This new text provides an introduction to Human Resource Management (HRM) and its particular application to the National Health Service. After an examination of the main concepts and theory of HRM the book focuses on the Health Service - the largest employer in Europe and an area in which there is considerable interest. Written in an accessible style and with great relevance to changes elsewhere in the 'public sector' it will appeal to both students and practitioners of HRM.
