The development of leadership skills in clinical practice.
Leadership is often seen as the province of the manager. However, as the NHS changes and responsibility is increasingly devolved, practitioners at all levels are expected to lead change and innovation. In this paper the author describes how attending the Leadership in Nursing for the Community (LINC) programme has influenced her practice. As a result of the programme she has an increased awareness of her own leadership role and of the political and professional climate in which she works.
