abstract: Despite an upsurge in awareness of quality assurance programmes and standard setting at all levels of the National Health Service, few nurses are as yet experienced in planning and implementing quality assurance systems. Janet Whelan's article is designed to point out possible problem areas that nurses may encounter on moving into this field, and offers advice on how to negotiate them.
