An agenda for nurse leaders.
The health service's new ' chief executive, Alan Langlands, is now in place. Also in place, perhaps surprisingly, is his broad strategy for the future of nursing management. Mr Langlands officially took up his post as Chief Executive of the NHS Management Executive (ME) on the first of this montli and has given every indication of his enthusiasm to stop nursing drifting into the policy doldrums that have threatened it over recent years. While there have been nursing initiatives aplenty since the beginning of the NHS marketplace changes, many now languish on forgotten shelves through lack of central will, pushed aside by the latest 'urgent' ministerial agenda. Remember the original Strategy for Nursing?
