This subject provides the student with the knowledge, skills and ability to take effective
action when confronting the challenges involved in leading nursing in a health care
environment characterised by increasing change and complexity. The student will have
an opportunity to study the foundational aspects of leadership, to explore issues
of nursing leadership within the clinical practice environment, and to take appropriate
action to ensure best outcomes within their particular health care setting. Critical
to effective leadership is the ability to effectively manage conflict, in all its
forms. The subject therefore includes contemporary knowledge about alternative dispute
resolution, for example negotiation skills which can be used to resolve disputes that
occur in health care organisations and which may impact upon nursing practice and
clinical outcomes for patients. The student will explore current theory and practice
in Alternative Dispute Resolution in an Australian health care context. The student's
learning is extended and applied to addressing disputes in the health care environment
which impact on nursing and midwifery work and the ability to provide quality, person-centred
care. The subject provides the student with the opportunity to develop a project (based
on the application of contemporary knowledge about leadership) concerning an issue
in their work setting, and to demonstrate the application of leadership principles
and practices to make an impact upon nursing or midwifery practice and clinical outcomes
for patients or clients.
Learning Outcomes
- explore the major theoretical foundations of leadership in nursing and midwifery;
- demonstrate the ability to develop a project that addresses an identified issue in
the health care setting which requires sound leadership to effect positive change;
- design a project in the health care setting related to the need for effective leadership
which demonstrates the student's knowledge and practice of sound leadership, using
evidence-based research skills.
