Abstract

This study explores the effect of grants on the clinical leaders of nursing development units (NDUs). A qualitative exploratory study was carried out by The King's Fund Centre using a semi-structured interview schedule. Through the interviews clinical leaders were able to explain how they felt about the responsibility of leading a funded NDU. The information gathered was examined for common themes and categories which revealed the complexity of effects on clinical leaders.
