The following article from the BBC highlights the gender imbalance of some professions in the UK, and in particular in the NHS.

It is reported that 1/10 nurses are male and that stereotyping of the profession has created the idea that nursing is ‘women’s work’.

A useful article for Health, Work, Poverty and Welfare and Culture and Identity.
