A Leadership & Transition-to-Practice Simulation Resource for Nursing Education and Preceptorship
Leadership Team Roulette is a scenario-based learning resource designed for:
Leadership Team Roulette helps student nurses practise the leadership behaviours they will need from day one of registration: prioritisation, delegation, communication, assertiveness, clinical decision-making and accountability. Using realistic healthcare scenarios and rotating leadership roles, students work together to create a plan of care, explain their rationale and reflect on the leadership skills required in professional practice.
Leadership is recognised as a core professional requirement for all registered nurses from the point of registration.1
Research shows newly qualified nurses often report low confidence in delegation, prioritisation, and leadership decision-making.2, 3
Built for nursing students. Valuable for preceptorship. Designed to help future nurses lead with confidence.
