Abstract

The role of the ward manager carries with it an accountability for education and training. This accountability includes responsibility for meeting the training needs of all members of the nursing team - learner nurses on approved courses, and trained and auxiliary nurses; we could also add patients and their relatives, although the needs of this important group are not the subject of this chapter.
