The Australian healthcare system is dynamic and continues to experience significant clinical, structural and socio-political transformations. The need for strong and effective leadership has never been more evident, particularly at the clinical interface. While the concept of leadership is not new, the provision of leadership in the clinical arena is now a central component of clinical practice for all health professionals and particularly nurses who, as a profession, comprise much of the health workforce. This unit is structured to enhance the students understanding of what it means to be a nurse leader. It provides a framework for exploring nursing leadership at a personal, clinical and organisational level. It aims to encourage students to take initiative and create supportive and compassionate clinical environments that deliver high quality, safe care to patients. This unit of study pursues a critical analysis of leadership and the context in which nursing leadership occurs. It covers a broad range of topics and is designed to provide students with a detailed understanding of the multiple and often conflicting contexts in which nursing leadership is situated.
