General Description
This two day seminar is designed specifically for nurses who are occasionally required to 'act up' in management positions. The program looks at some of the key pre-requisites and skills for good, trouble-free management. A particular emphasis will be made on the importance of the use of emotional intelligence. This will be demonstrated through discussion throughout the program.
If you have identified a professional need to improve your management skills when required to 'act up' as part of your planned learning activities, then this program will offer you an opportunity to gain continuing professional development (CPD) hours related to this topic.
