Nursing leadership as a legacy of the Second World War. 1996

P Starns

In an overview of British nursing history from 1939 onwards, this paper challenes the view that professional stagnation in the post war period resulted from a lack of nurse leadership. Instead the paper argues that strong dynamic leaders did exist, but they failed to gain the support of rank and file nurses.
