abstract: Starring role: clinical nurse manager at 5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Trust, Cheshire, Joanne Schofield is among the nurses featuring in Quiet Power, a film created by Nursing Standard magazine to promote a positive image of nursing and midwifery. Speaking about the value of nursing, Ms Schofield, one of RCN Publishing's Nursing the Future campaign ambassadors, says: 'I think, because patients are happier to speak to nurses, they feel comfortable to relate to them their problems, and with allowing nurses to help them improve and get better.' Copies of the Quiet Power DVD are being distributed with next month's Nursing Management to help nursing leaders publicise the value of the profession.
