  Health is a service and like other service industries it is labour intensive. NHS managers can have from 10 to over 1,000 staff to manage. The current health service reforms have now given self-governing NHS trusts a whole new range of possibilities for direct management control, not least in the management of staff. General personnel management books for managers have tended to focus solely on supervisory skills, such as appraisals or selection interviewing, whilst books on the management of human resources have tended to be written for specialist personnel managers. Written by a senior practitioner, this comprehensive book will provide up-to-date, practical personnel management advice for NHS managers within a specific health sector context. It will provide managers with clear, practical guidelines and ideas which will challenge and improve their understanding and practice of all aspects of personnel management.
