title: A comprehensive business planning approach applied to healthcare.
abstract: The White Paper The New NHS: Modern, Dependable (DoH 1997) clearly expects nurses, in partnership with other professionals, to contribute to the planning and shaping of future healthcare services. This article proposes that comprehensive models of alternative planning frameworks, when applied to healthcare services, can provide nurses with an understanding of the skills they require to participate in the planning process.
