title: Nurse development. The A train.
abstract: Management development for nurses is a neglected area. A management development programme at one trust has improved communication and team work, introduced simple practice changes, and saved money without impacting on patient care. Costs have been met through commercial sponsorship, recentralising training budgets and careful forward planning to make internal cover possible.
