title: Admiral's admiral.
abstract: FOR CHIEF Admiral nurse Hilda Hayo, an abiding memory of her nurse training in the early 1980s was being asked to prepare the consultant's tea tray. She laughs at the memory. But at the time, as a mental health nursing student slightly older than her peers, she found the ritual archaic. In some ways, however, the rigid hierarchy that it embodied has now been inverted. Admiral nurses, experts in dementia care, are often consulted by consultants, she says. It is the nurses who are in charge now.
