Capital and Coast District Health Board (CCDHB) acknowledges and recognises the impact and importance that the nursing and midwifery professions have within the health care system and would like to ensure that leadership and development is an opportunity that is well supported.
The Chief Nursing Officer and the Nursing and Midwifery Leadership group at CCDHB will support and provide leadership development to a cohort of nurses and midwives across the sector (Primary, Community, Aged and Residential Care and Hospital and Health Services), as well as extending the invitation to Hutt Valley District Health Board (HVDHB) as part of the 2020 Nightingale Challenge. Up to 30 Nurses and Midwives will be selected to be a part of the Nightingale Challenge cohort.
The leadership development programme offered is the Emerging Leaders Programme, designed for our future leaders and is intended as the first step for those at the beginning of their leadership development journey. This programme aims to provide an overview of leadership in a health context and participants will be able to reflect on their leadership styles and plan the next steps in their leadership journey.
20 nurses and midwives have been enrolled in the leadership development programme.
