title: The role of chief nursing officer.
abstract: This is an important time for nurses, midwives and health visitors in the NHS. It is a time of radical change, of real investment and real challenges. I am pleased to take this opportunity to contribute to your journal and to speak directly to perioperative nurses about these issues. I want to talk to you about my own role, the imminent changes to the NHS, and how I see us working together in the future.
