This chapter is concerned with the changing boundaries between the professions of medicine and nursing, and how the relations that these occupations have with the UK Government has produced some distinctive changes in their work practices and occupational jurisdictions. To state the problem simply, though not necessarily inaccurately: to the Government and the National Health Service (NHS) management, the medical profession is a problem that nursing may help to resolve. The underlying reason for this renegotiation of the state–profession relationship in the cases of medicine and nursing relates to structural changes in the organisation and delivery of health care within the broader context of neo-liberalism and the changing imperatives of global capitalism (Ackroyd, 1996; Clarke, 2004a).
