This essay will critically evaluate the use of the Leadership and Management skills in nursing in relation to an incident from the author’s practice.

The research shows that best results are achieved if staff and patients are engaged, however, yet underdeveloped and inconsistent across the whole system and there is a great need for is the development of future leaders in order to create a different culture. …show more content…
The available evidence points to the implications for practice such as poor practice and compromised patient safety. Entwistle (2013) emphasizes that out of five key points made by the Francis Report, one refers to the need of a consistent leadership across the NHS, and the second key point refers to the shared values across the NHS management at all levels”. Consequently, further implementation of different strategies for developing or to improve the leadership behaviour, not only at the individual level, but also at the organisational level to maximize the outcome of care for the current population health needs is required while ensuring the existence of a “safety …show more content…
The upstream approach refers to the use of social determinants such as population health needs and existing evidence of the previous failure and moving the intervention point to an earlier stage (RCN 2016). The benefits associated with the upstream approach refer to the effectiveness of interventions such as reducing the costs while improving the quality of care delivered. Education and continuous training are crucial for an optimum development of leadership and management skills. Peate (2012) emphasises the gap in preparing newly qualified nurses to work effectively and being competent in undertaking leadership roles while providing holistic patient care. Moreover, nurses need to possess not only the knowledge, but also the skills and competencies to provide the care to the NMC standards while managing the current health care system challenges (ibid). In conclusion, there were identified gaps in both, knowledge and nursing leadership and management skills and therefore the great need for training to shape the nurses from this
