“…1997). Gender is a major determinant of career progression (MacGuire 1991). It clearly affected the GNs in this study, and is an issue that needs to be taken adequately into account if the mismatch between the aspirations the profession had for GNs qualifying between 1970 and 1989 and their eventual career outcomes are to be understood.…”

Graduate nurses interviewed aspired to clinical posts, yet this was not what some in nursing expected of them during the 1970s and 1980s. The ability of these graduate nurses to fulfil personal career aspirations and develop their careers depended on many factors, not fully acknowledged in earlier studies. For example, organizational structures and systems often delayed fulfilment of career aspirations. Significantly, gender issues embedded within nursing adversely affected career progression of those interviewed, even in the 1990s. In particular, although nurses can combine work and family commitments, for those interviewed this was often at the expense of their career development.

“…As university‐based courses for nurses proliferated and flourished in the 1970s and 1980s, there were increasing calls for a wholesale move of nursing education into the university sector (MacGuire 1991). These calls became more insistent during the development and implementation of the new Project 2000 diploma (United Kingdom Central Council 1986), which was followed rapidly by the transfer into higher education — a process that was complete by 1997.…”

The Diploma in Community Nursing at the University of Manchester began in 1959, after a long period of planning and negotiation. It was the earliest pre-registration nursing education programme in a British university. The paper reports on a historical study which examined its foundation and development. The history of the 'Manchester Scheme', as it came to be known, is placed into the context of wider reforms and modifications in British nursing education. The methods used for the study were a broad-based literature review, examination of material from the 1950s to the present day, five oral history interviews with some of those who were influential in developing the diploma, and the interpretation of relevant documentary source materials. The Diploma in Community Nursing at the University of Manchester was important and innovative in its time, combining as it did nurse and health visitor training with a university-based education. The paper traces the struggle to establish the course, which was largely due to the efforts of one charismatic individual, Fraser Brockington, Professor of Social and Preventive Medicine. It then goes on to examine the reforms and modifications the programme underwent from 1959 to 1969, as it was developed into the prototype for the 'Bachelor of Nursing Degree'.
