Putting casualty back on its feet

Article Abstract:

The A&E at St. George's Hospital, south London, is one of the best-performing casualty departments in the UK but the nurses struggled to treat five out of ten patients within the government's target time of four hours. A senior nursing team has revamped staff rotas and introduced new works of art, making sure that clinical processes are right before pressing ahead with changes.

The same, but different

Article Abstract:

The changes that have taken place in nursing in the UK since the 1980s are considered. Some observers believe that nurses now feel more insecure, although this may be a positive development as they take on new responsibilities. Others welcome the fact that nurses now have greater access to study opportunities.
