Routledge The NHS in Scotland: The Legacy of the Past and the Prospect of the Future (Routledge Revivals)

First published in 2000, this volume considers the past and present of the NHS in Scotland since its inception in 1948. It features specialists in history, nursing, medicine and sociology. The contributors tackle topics including nurses in 1948, historical reviews of the NHS both in 1948 and up until the present, remote healthcare and the role of devolution for nursing and the politics of health in Scotland, along with an interview with Dr. David Player. The authors are united in addressing the state of perpetual change which has defined the NHS.
