Article Abstract:

Nursing lecturers are considering quitting higher education for better-paid nurse consultant's posts in the NHS, according to their union. However, nurse academics are being forced to make hard choices because of their exclusion from the new Agenda for Change (AfC) pay system that is driving NHS salaries up at a faster rate than those in higher education.
