Nurse Maude has been providing community based health services within the Canterbury region for more than 100 years. The organisation’s key role is enabling those needing health care to receive it in the community, either in their own homes or at one of the organisations community clinics, hospice or aged care facility rather than remain in a public hospital. The organisation’s values of Care, Partnership, Respect, Excellence and Integrity are strongly embedded within our culture. We aim to recruit approximately 5 nurses with at least 2 years post registration or enrolled experience. The programme will include;
· Attendance at Collabor8 –A Lean Thinking and leadership Course. Collabor8 introduces the participant to the principles and tools of lean thinking, influencing change, culture and leadership, patient safety, personality styles and effective communication. It offers skills, confidence and permission to carry out an improvement initiative in the participant’s work area.
· A panel discussion with our organisations leaders
· Time to work with a leader on preparing a great CV and interview skills
· Short secondment to another service to work within the team and observe leadership styles and culture
5 nurses and midwives have been enrolled on this Nightingale Challenge programme.
