title: How expert mentoring can pave the way to successful leadership.
abstract: It is vital for the healthcare system that nurses of children and young people have the ability and courage to lead. These qualities can affect all elements of healthcare, from direct care through service commissioning ( Royal College of Nursing 2014 ) to staff satisfaction and retention ( Kerfoot 2000 , Corning 2002 , Heller et al 2004 ).
