From factory to free range: managing change in caring practice

  • Carol Dawn Noble

Abstract

Nursing is a dynamic profession which is constantly changing, and the importance of change has been widely recognized by many nurse theorists. Change is essential in all nursing, including the care of older people with mental health problems. In this chapter, however, I will focus on the implementation of change in a clinical setting.
