'Nursing Leadership in Primary Health Care Context' is the title of a public lecture organised by the Department of Nursing at the Faculty of Health Sciences, that will be held on Tuesday, 10 April at 13:00 at the Auditorium, Faculty of ICT, University of Malta Msida Campus.
The lecture will be delivered by Dr Barbara Campbell, RN, Associate Professor of Nursing at the University of Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Abstract
This senior level online nursing course explores the theory and practice of nursing leadership examined in the context of primary health care. Learners will incorporate knowledge, skills, attitudes and experiences acquired in previous courses to explore questions related to leadership and current health-care practice. Emphasis is placed on understanding and developing key aspects such as thinking critically, building teams, and leading change. The role and boundaries of a nurses’ scope of practice, as well as how the scope of practice overlaps with that of other health care providers will be outlined. Complexities of effective interdisciplinary collaboration focusing on the nurses’ role on a team that provides patient-centred care will be discussed. The presentation will provide an opportunity to critique leadership; management and followership styles observed in clinical settings, to examine your own leadership style and articulate in a scholarly manner how innovation in leadership would contribute to the body of knowledge for nurses. Teaching and learning in a non-synchronous modality on MOODLE will be demonstrated and discussed, identifying the challenges and benefits to online teaching and learning.
