Practice-Based Learning Leadership Module
This module contains a total of 4 parts with each part providing up to 4.5 hours of practice-based learning.
Who is this course for?
This online practice-based learning has been developed to support pre-registration Dietitians in their understanding and development of leadership skills and behaviours in practice.
Some of this module is designed to be completed alongside a project or audit work which will give you the opportunity to practise leadership skills and personal qualities. You may be contributing to parts of a project or audit, or be working on the whole project or audit alone, or with a team.
You will be asked to complete relevant activities and record these in an online record of your work. This helps to provide evidence for your practice-based learning hours.

- understand what leadership is and why leadership skills are important as a healthcare professional
