Abstract
  • This handbook has been written as part of 'From Ward to Board' - a joint project by the Burdett Trust for Nursing and The King's Fund. It aims to help nurses successfully navigate the transition into the role as an executive and contains chapters on the demands of the role, how to work effectively with the board and where to go to get support. The King’s Fund has worked intensively with nurse executives and their boards in 13 sites across the UK, developing a picture of what good practice in the business of caring looks like. The guidance offered in this handbook was developed by interviewing current executive nurses and other board members about their experiences, so that others could learn valuable lessons to enable them to fulfil their role as effectively as possible.
  • Published by The King’s Fund on behalf of the Burdett Trust for Nursing.
