Clinical Leadership
Innovation into Action
DAVID STANLEY has published, researched and taught on issues related to clinical leadership since 2001. He has also spoken
about clinical leadership at conferences in the UK, Ireland, Canada and Australia. David currently works as an Associate
Professor at the University of Western Australia in Perth, Western Australia.
Leadership is critical to nursing and is displayed across a wide range of settings including the practice environment,
management, education and research. As such, Clinical Leadership: Innovation into Action is directed towards
‘ground level’ clinical staff, many of whom are, although they may not see it, clinical leaders in health care
organisations.
The book offers practical, research-based guidance and examples that will inspire, motivate, support and facilitate
clinical leaders (or aspiring clinical leaders) in the application of clinical leadership skills.
Written for health professionals who act principally in direct client/patient care, it describes the difference
between leadership and management. It sets out a new theory of leadership: congruent leadership, primarily
focused on how nurses and other health professionals lead at the bedside.
Containing case studies and activities, Clinical Leadership supports nursing students, nurse practitioners and
health professionals as they strive to develop clinical leadership skills, and as such clinical excellence. The book
aims not only to develop, but also support strong nursing leaders, equipping them with the skills needed to foster
future nurses for generations to come.

Health as a Social Experience
REBECCA FANANY is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Deakin University. Her background

at both the state and federal levels.
DAVID FANANY teaches in the School of Human Biosciences and Public Health at La Trobe University. His training is in the
fields of Biomedical Engineering and Public Health.
Health is a primary concern for a growing number of people in today’s society. The level of our awareness of the
biological issues which affect our health is at an all-time high. Health, however, is not solely a question of biology;
it is strongly influenced by societal forces which shape people’s lives such as education, work, culture, language,
politics and macroeconomics. Knowledge of these forces is therefore an essential addition to any understanding
of how people experience health, as well as any attempt to improve health outcomes.
Health as a Social Experience offers a thorough examination of the social determinants which commonly influence
health outcomes, starting with those related to individuals and expanding to the deeper structures of society.
The question of choice is also comprehensively discussed. Drawing on recent research, as well as real-world case
studies, this text provides introductory students with a gateway into the field of public health, offering an insight
into the issues faced by health professionals when working with the general populace.

Just as we can talk about different cultures around the world, we can also talk about the culture

ways of behaving that are shared by people who work or study in universities. Academic Culture
is a much-needed and immensely practical book which identifies these attitudes and values as
well as the effect they have on student and lecturer behaviour.
