- Summary
- "This book examines the division of labour between nurses and other health professions and occupations. It connects classic sociological concerns with practical problems affecting the contemporary NHS, such as the emergence of new roles, the shifting boundaries between medicine and nursing, and the barriers to change that exist. The book contains a series of case studies illustrating tension, conflict and accomodation observable when occupations negotiate new working relationships."--BOOK JACKET.
