Advanced knowledge of clinical leadership is inherent in the role of a registered nurse in a range of contexts to fulfil the mandate for patient safety and quality in health care. The high proportion of nurses within the health care workforce compared to any other health care profession, points to nurses as having the potential for the greatest influence on patient safety and person-centred quality care. The unit of study aims to equip students to develop their understanding of leadership in nursing and the specific contribution of nursing clinical leadership to the safety and quality of patient care. The unit also aims to increase students’ teamwork; followership and collaborative skills; and their understanding of how these contribute to effective communication in professional healthcare settings. Through their engagement with the unit, students will build upon their capabilities to become a reflective clinician. Students will advance their knowledge and application of the regulatory, legal, and ethical frameworks that safeguard the public and by which they will be accountable. This unit of study also equips students with the skills to effectively transition to a graduate registered nurse.
