Thus, the NHS Direct case study shows evidence of autonomy and clinical responsibility retained by nurses. The researchers explained that NHS Direct involves a service sector work, where nurses are the dominant group…

A traditional health system model focusing on secondary care is no longer sustainable or appropriate, due to the increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, in a population, which is becoming increasingly obeseogenic (Howatson & Wall, 2014)(Suckling, Connolly, Mueller & Russell, 2015). There is very little peer reviewed literature on how different…
