title: New senates offer nurses a say in policy.
abstract: Clinical advice to commissioners in the new NHS in England will be offered through clinical senates and strategic clinical networks. There are concerns the 12 large senates may be unwieldy and out of touch. The new strategic networks are also controversial, with some fearing that nursing expertise will be lost.
