Professional regulation in nursing. Part 3: self-regulation.
Previously, it has been asked why there was such a shift away from professional self-regulation towards direct control by the Government. It was suggested that there occurred a seminal event--Bristol--that was responsible for a seismic shift in attitude by the public towards the idea that health professionals were not capable of self-regulation; they needed the firmed hand of direct governmental control. This article, and the next two, will examine this in greater detail, by drawing together, thoughts and ideals from that period.
