Senior nurse in the NHS (6)

I believe the answer is:

matron

(Other definitions for matron that I've seen before include "Medical supervisor" , "Former title of today's Senior Nursing Officer" , "Head of nursing" , "Senior nursing officer of old" , "Woman in charge of nurses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
