The Francis report into poor care standards in a large UK hospital raised several issues for nursing – one of which is how the management, organisation and development of the nursing workforce has an impact on patient care.

This virtual issue of the JAN presents a set of papers providing interesting perspectives on this topic. At the heart of many instances of poor care is the issue of nursing leadership and professionalism. Nursing teams need to be well led and organised; this is self-evident, but how professionalism can be instilled through nursing leadership is an important consideration.
