There are case studies, practical examples, reflective questions and even anecdotes from the authors' own experience, showing students the potential and application of leadership. There are also activities that enable students to engage with every facet of leadership, as it connects to topics such as team-work, communication, problem-solving, emotional intelligence, critical self-reflection and quality of care.

A new chapter on Ethical, Legal and Professional Aspects in Leadership;
Content updates in-line with the 2018 NMC Standards, the new NMC code, and Revalidation.
