The course helped me to refocus on the role of the CNS and put into practice some of the core concepts (that I may have been

neglecting due to a busy schedule).

Feedback from Programme 1

It was a great experience meeting other CNSs from other disciplines”. “Gets me

thinking am I fulfilling the 5 core concepts.”

The course was excellent in general and covered a lot of areas which I would

consider very relevant to our daily work.

“This was an excellent programme, it gave a voice to those working at the ‘coal face’

taking us ‘out of the wilderness’ and allowing us to bring our ideas to the fore

in an inclusive, open, positive and stimulating environment, where we were

facilitated in realising our ideas from thought to reality”.

It was also great to receive retraining on the core competencies of the CNS/CMS

and the role in general”.“I found this course very good it gave me time and

space to stop and take a look at where I am with my role and what I am and am not

achieving as a CNS”.

Quality Improvement ProjectStepping Stones

Clinical Leadership development focuses on developing individual capacities to effectively perform leadership roles (Day 2001)

I believe:Clinical leadership is context specificSkills learned must be capable of being transferred

to the clinical area

Effective leadership initiatives are those that do just that

Reflections -Service ImpactEileen Mc Guigan

‘Effective leadership often consists of giving people not what they want but what they will

learn to want’- Walter Lippmann

Leaders are people who know who they are and know where they are going

For learning to happen, Dewey (1938) maintains that one cannot be a mere passive observer of experience, but rather must act

on the environment and observe the consequences of its actions.

Any Questions???
