The pearl inside the twinset

Article Abstract:

Dame Catherine Hall, who for 25 years was the general secretary of the UK's RCN, is associated for some people with the old-fashioned image of the organisation which was cast aside when Trevor Clay became general secretary in 1982. However, she was in fact a very strong woman, and fought hard on many issues. She did a great deal to ensure that the needs of nurses were heard, and was not afraid to tackle politicians.
