Nurses play an increasingly crucial role in ensuring that patients receive the best possible care, and strive to lead innovations in health care. Changing practice is not easy and many nurses do not have the leadership skills or confidence to push for change. Therefore, they need to know that they are supported and encouraged to bring about change in nursing practice. Primary care trusts in the west of Berkshire and a university based in Reading have worked together to respond to this challenge by developing and implementing a flexible, accredited, work-based educational programme. The programme ensures that patients remain at the heart of learning by enabling nurses to lead and influence practice.
