Transformational leadership and ethical leadership: their significance in the mental healthcare system
Abstract: This article critically compares transformational leadership and ethical leadership. It discusses the differences, similarities, weaknesses and strengths of the two styles. The importance of strong leadership in meeting an array of challenges and changes occurring in the NHS is highlighted. The article explores the influence of transformational and ethical leadership styles on the role of nurse leaders, particularly those in mental health, and also the influence of emotional intelligence.

Abstract: Following its consultation with key stakeholder groups the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has launched Future nurse: standards of proficiency for registered nurses (NMC, 2018a). These compulsory new standards will be available for use in curricula by approved education institutions (AEIs) from the end of January 2019. In this article, the authors provide their personal perspectives on the potential impact of the new standards, particularly focusing on those relating to supporting and assessing students from within the practice environment. The new roles of practice supervisor, practice assessor and academic assessor are explored, making comparisons to the current mentorship role. There is a clear need for effective partnerships between AEIs and healthcare organisations as they lead on the implementation of the standards. They must think creatively about practice placements and provide opportunities for interprofessional supervision, so that students can learn about the roles of other disciplines and how to collaborate in a multidisciplinary team.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Nurses providing end-of-life care in acute care units often suffer from moral distress. Reflective practice (RP) may enable these nurses to realise desirable practice and then decrease their moral distress.
AIMS: This study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of an RP intervention on moral distress.
METHODS: This pilot study has a one group pre-test/post-test design. Nurses working in acute care units were recruited. An RP intervention was tested that included three 45-75-minute group sessions using the Johns' model for structured reflection (2006) .
RESULTS: Most nurse participants (16/19) completed the intervention and noticed changes in their practice (13/16). The results did not show a significant difference (3.97 points, p=0.62) in the mean of the pre- and post-intervention moral distress.
CONCLUSION: The RP intervention seemed feasible and acceptable to participants. Other studies are needed to demonstrate the effects of RP on the moral distress of nurses.

Abstract: Aesthetic nurses are increasingly admired and respected by their medical colleagues, but it was not always this way. Through dedication and professionalism, nurses have made waves in the sector, with many now working as trainers and key opinion leaders. Andrew Rankin explains why he feels these changes have taken place and outlines what nurses need to do to keep raising standards in aesthetics.
