Health service management: culture, consensus and the middle manager

David Foster Director, Nursing at Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust

In this well structured text, Marie Carney analyses the relationships between culture, consensus and the behaviours of managers. This is an academic work that applies both seminal and current theory to health service management practice, and offers pragmatic summaries of each chapter. Thus, it is a useful book for academic endeavour but, although it does not purport to be a toolkit, it can also be a useful guide for managers.
