Leadership skills in nursing and midwifery

CPD hours:
1

Leadership skills have been identified as key to the delivery of good healthcare.

However, healthcare leadership roles can be seen as daunting and ‘staggeringly complex’.

Nevertheless, the fundamentals of leadership can be simply defined as engaging others in creating and implementing a shared vision.

Given that leadership is a crucial component of management, it is essential that nurses and midwives in, or moving into, senior or management roles understand the principles of leadership.

This module is the first in a set of healthcare leadership modules. For more detailed information, it is recommended that you also complete the module Leadership Styles in Healthcare.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
