Title: Critically discuss an example from practice which focuses on leading and managing care within the multidisciplinary team.

This piece of work requires students to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the important elements of effective leadership and management of care within the MDT.

You should discuss key leadership and management themes in relation to your chosen example, drawing upon contemporary literature, local and national policy documents and an example from practice experienced during the module.

An example should include themes from the module including (some/all) of the following: delegation, negotiation, change management, communication, conflict resolution, and team working.

You must ensure that confidentiality and anonymity are maintained (at all times) within your written work.

Writing Skills:

When offering ideas and concepts, you must support these by drawing on relevant evidence – that is theories, concepts and models – from the literature. Core texts and further readings have been provided in this module, but you will need to look beyond these, and can do so via electronic library facilities.

Your writing must show evidence of ‘compare and contrast’ and should have application to the workplace where appropriate to demonstrate synthesis of knowledge and its application to nursing practice.

First person – usage:

You can use first person when detailing your practice experience. Otherwise, it MUST always be third person (please see Lee if unsure).

Sub-headings:

It is strongly advised that you use sub-headings within your assignment. At the very least, these should be:

1. Introduction (200 words approx.)
2. Your selected Themes, which best relate to the chosen practice example.
3. Conclusion (200 words approx.)
Appendices:
Use of an appendix or two is acceptable, won’t be part of the word count, but please avoid putting essential information within the section. This is just for additional information that might enhance your work.
