Abstract
First paragraph: Recent research by Edinburgh Napier University, with the assistance of NHS Scotland’s Information Service Division, and the support of the Scottish Government, has observed that many female registered nurses return from a career break at a lower grade relative to their experience and training. This has a detrimental implication for the NHS in terms of operational efficiency.
