Management ... working day of a health services manager. Plymouth Community Services NHS Trust.

Abstract

Rae Wallin is Director of Personnel, Plymouth Community Services NHS Trust, a trust with 2000 staff and a budget of 40m pounds. Ideally, work and home life are strictly compartmentalised but this does not always happen in practice; there is a challenge in balancing the needs of both. Senior managers are under enormous pressure in today's NHS; for women, Opportunity 2000 has not yet really changed things.
