We regularly ask NHS managers what they think. We seek their views on current events
in the NHS, on policy, guidance and what's happening. It is surprising, the number of times views are at complete
odds with policy and the direction of NHS travel.
It is clear; managers are a group whose views are not,
often enough, sought, or acted upon. Read here what managers really think, their private views, rarely made public in this
way. You'll be surprised! 67%
