In January 2009 the Back to the floor Friday (BtfF) initiative was launched across a large acute hospital trust (the study site) as part of a comprehensive patient experience improvement programme. Propositions supposed that improvements would be made as a result of strengthened and visible clinical nurse and midwife leadership, with all nurses/midwives above Band 7 (n= 171) returning to clinical practice in uniform every Friday to undertake work relevant to their role. An action research approach was used to evaluate the initial implementation phase of the initiative.
