title: The Trust experience: eight years on.
abstract: In 1992 the author described her experience of working in a newly formed acute NHS Trust hospital. One of the key messages of the paper concerned the pace of radical changes experienced. Eight years on, the process of change has accelerated still further, and healthcare professionals working in the NHS face newer and tougher challenges with regard to funding, recognition and survival. This paper describes the author's personal view of developments so far.
