Creating a climate for the development of nursing.
In this paper, the authors describe the creation of a climate for change and development in the clinical setting. They discuss the emergence of roles of clinical nurse specialist-manager as key practitioner roles in developing the milieu for clinical practice development. The need to build links with education and develop clinical education roles are also explored. In creating a Nursing Development Unit, the authors argue that it is possible to create a setting where innovation can take place, nursing care can be improved, and theory can be put into practice.
