Preparing nurse leaders for global health reforms.
One of the International Council of Nurses' main remits, on behalf of its member organisations, is to prepare nurses for management and leadership roles. Its Leadership for Change (LFC) programme aims to complement a country's own educational and development schemes, to give nurses confidence in facing the challenges of health reforms in response to demand for services. This article describes the structure of LFC and illustrates how it helps nurses to emerge as effective leaders.
