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. The content of the unit includes an overview of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety (2018-19) and the impacts it has had on the delivery of care to older people. 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.
NOTE: Students who wish to undertake this new elective as a single unit will only require six months of experience.
