Men's health issues must gain more attention, urges RCN
Article Abstract:
Health authorities perceive men's health issues as having low priority and nurses should subsequently take the initiative in developing services specifically aimed at men. Men do not undergo routine health checks as they visit their GPs much less frequently than women. Clinics could be opened at times more convenient for working men, while nurses specialising in occupational health and mental health could visit men in the workplace. In a pilot project, 80% of men who contacted the Samaritan's via computer claimed to be suicidal.

A change of part
Article Abstract:
The role of the nurse manager has undergone dramatic changes over recent years. Nurse managers must now be able to operate strategically, rather than just coping with the varied aspects of their job. They are now tending to take on an expanded role and to play a key part in ensuring that care is more closely aligned with patients' needs. They must be willing to exercise their powers as managers and to deal with issues outside their own department.
