The nursing staff on an acute medical hospital ward elected to wear their own clothes to work for a period of 2 months. The trial was evaluated using a variety of research methods and it raised a number of issues about the role of uniform, about patients' perceptions of nurses and nurses' perceptions of their role. The study has led to questions being raised about the assumptions that are made if uniform is worn and the appropriateness of a uniform dress.
