Article Abstract:
The difficulty that the NHS in England faces in convincing the British public of its utility and effectiveness is more the result of a sensationalist press that prefers to highlight the problems of the service but has little interest in reporting on its many and varied successes. One remedy is for the members of the nursing profession to occasionally boast about their achievements and let the public witness the positive side of the service.
