Review
Nursing Standard In this excellent guide, Nick Black...offers seven walks, each of which illustrates the complex relationships between the various bodies and individuals who dealt with health provision, their triumphs, failures and many conflicts...This is an absolute must read for those who believe that if we do not learn from the past we are condemned to repeat it.
