| Authors: | Stephen Timmons |
| Institution: | The University of Nottingham. |
| Abstract: | New technology being introduced into nursing makes possible the surveillance of practice via an 'electronic panopticon'. This paper reports on a qualitative study of these systems in the UK NHS, where the attempt to monitor nursing practice failed, not least due to the complexities of nursing culture and practice at ward level. |
