Summary

Over the past decade, government reform of the health service has dramatically increased managerial control over the traditional professions of medicine and nursing. In the wake of these reforms,Managerialism and Nursinglooks at the effect of new management strategies on nurses, their morale and the profession as a whole. Based on an innovative study, the book looks at the contrasting ways in which nurses and managers argue their case and presents their identity. Michael Traynor gives a fluent account of postmodern theories and aptly demonstrates their value in understanding the struggle to find a voice and be heard that is inherent in nursing's history.Managerialism and Nursingmakes a significant contribution to debates surrounding the nature of nursing and its relationship to other groups both in health care and society as a whole.
