How may nurses contribute to, develop and advance their practice when working in bureaucratic and hierarchical health care settings? This text documents how nurses attempt to undertake change and development in clinical practice, using the innovative process of critical action research.

Aimed at post-registration nurses (surgical nursing, theatre nursing, intensive care nursing courses), pre-reg adult branch students, and practising nurses working in a surgical setting, this work looks at all aspects of surgical nursing.
