Due to the complexity and ever-changing nature of our healthcare systems, errors can and do occur. Because of this, and the recognised vulnerability of our patients, nursing is a highly regulated profession that is bound by laws, codes, rules, policies, guidelines and standards. This unit of study is designed to facilitate in students a comprehensive understanding of how nursing practice is regulated and how, through clinical governance and quality and safety frameworks, we endeavour to deliver safe, high quality care to our patients. Students will reflect on their understanding of leadership in nursing practice and subsequently gain a deeper understanding of its inherent role in delivering safe, high quality health care. During the unit, students will explore the importance of clinical leadership “at the bedside” as they prepare for their future roles as registered nurses.
