title: Back to school.
abstract: Participants on the development programme for newly appointed matrons felt they needed to share their experiences and develop leadership and team0building skills. Personality tests and receiving individual feedback were seen as helpful. The programme is thought to be a valuable tool in integrating these new roles in the trust. The matrons are now in action learning sets.
