Professional regulation. Part 9: politics and ideology in nursing
1Faculty of Health, London, South Bank University, London, UK.
Abstract:
This article aims to continue the debate that surrounds nurse education and possible career structures. By reviewing two documents produced by the Department of Health and the Nursing and Midwifery Council, this article is concerned with one question: should nurses be free to decide their own career progression, or should they be compelled into the areas that the Government deem necessary to meet the demands of the populace? The answer this article produces is that no clear picture emerges. It becomes apparent that other, more powerful evidence may be in play, and that reference to other documents and political influences is needed; a review of this literature will be undertaken in the next article.
