The increasing management opportunities for nurses are reviewed, including management in clinical directorates and practice management, specialist and general management options, new posts in support areas, and positions within new trusts.

Article Abstract:
The Health Education Authority report on children and road accidents found that 417 children were killed in road accidents in the UK in 1990 and 48,000 were injured, and that the NHS should play a more important role in prevention. This could be achieved by the involvement of midwives who can advise on children's car seats, health visitors who can advise on responsibility for road safety, and school nurses who can offer training in prevention.
