Abstract

Ward policies usually result from a dialogue between medical, nursing and other staff who form part of the ward team, but this cannot be achieved without reference to hospital, district, regional and national policies, and legislation which affects the patient or any member of staff. This conference followed a King's Fund study into the use of written ward policies and examined their creation, implementation and efficiency.
