If the past was tense can the future be perfrect?: Nursing Times launched in 1905, since when nursing has not controlled its destiny as much as it would like

Article Abstract:

There are key forces that have shaped nursing since Nursing Times launched in 1905, including political interest, such as sympathy with the suffragette cause and moves to initiate state registration of nurses. Nurse leaders have often been viewed in heroic mode but this deflected from the importance of welfare policy and government intervention. Policy priorities are moving towards a primary care led NHS, and the US example that suggests that opportunities are there to be grasped, should be followed.

Article Abstract:
