Effective Leadership in the Healthcare Setting

Online Course | $182


Leadership is one of the central attributes in the delivery of safe, quality patient care. It is evident that ineffective leadership is a major contributing factor to patient complications.

All healthcare professionals will be called upon at multiple points in their career to demonstrate effective leadership. While it’s a skill that comes more easily to some than others, with some people being described as ‘natural leaders’, it’s important to recognise that leadership skills can be developed.
