There are a few (across the country no doubt many) excellent managers from a nursing background, but the wholesale introduction of nurses as both PCT and hospital managers has sadly not benefited patients or (perhaps surprisingly) nurses - except for the individuals earning higher salaries. OTOH the amount you have to pay doctors to take the crap PCT and Hospital management take from their bosses is WWWWAAAAAAYYYYYY above the PM's salary, and non-nursing managers don't seem any better, so if anyone has a practical solution it would be good to hear it.
