The emerging/clinical leader is a nurse or midwife who demonstrates leadership potential at any stage of their career. They need not have a career goal in management to be considered for leadership development.
The N/MUM has a pivotal role in the leadership of safe and effective care as well as the management of human and material resources in the ward or unit. Leadership skills rather than management skills are the focus of professional development in this program.
The Nurse/Midwife Manager role is important to the effective operation of the system. According to the facility, and the level of the role designation, the individual is required to have a variety of management and leadership skills.
