Description
The final years of this century have seen sweeping changes in society, in health care and in the demographic make-up of populations. Inevitably this has lead to changes in the type of health service that should (or can) be provided. Nursing has a crucial role to play in the necessary review of today's health care systems. This book explores the ways in which nurses can engage with and influence the formation of health policy now, and for the future.
