• Chapter 1: Leadership and the role of the Nursing AssociateChapter 2: What is leadership theory and change management?Chapter 3: Understanding those interpersonal skills required to provide leadership across multiple settingsChapter 4: Understanding and applying the principles of human and environmental factors in relation to leadershipChapter 5: Understanding data and information for effective care and leadershipChapter 6: Understanding prioritisation, workload, and delegationChapter 7: Understanding how to monitor and review quality of careChapter 8: Understanding compassionate leadership

An engaging book tailored toward Nursing Associates. Nursing Associates often do not see themselves as leaders – however, after engaging with the book most of our students saw themselves as leaders within their teams. I believe the book will demystify the false belief that Nursing Associates are not leaders.
