title: Leading by example.
abstract: DURING THE past three decades Helga Goutcher's nursing career has shifted from one end of the age spectrum to the other. She first qualified as a paediatric nurse, before adding a general nursing qualification to her CV, and was one of the youngest paediatric ward sisters appointed at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow where she specialised in paediatric haemodialysis.
