title: Let the team decide? Evaluation of self-rostering on an acute general medical ward.
abstract: 1. Self-rostering enables staff to develop their managerial skills. 2. Self-rostering combined with a system of team nursing could allow the team to function at a high level of self-reliance and autonomy. 3. This project indicated that these outcomes could be achieved, but as with any implementation of change, the time required for staff preparation should never be underestimated.
