Clinical Leadership in Aged Care
The purpose of this unit is to equip registered nurses who are working in the aged care sector with the knowledge and professional skills to be clinical leaders in practice.

Other content will challenge the nurse to think critically about legal and ethical challenges they face as emerging leaders in aged care such as elder abuse, delegation and supervision of the unregulated health care workforce, capacity and guardianship skill work and adequate staffing resources as well as the effects of policy.
