Q: I am very interested in applying for the nurse role on the board of my local clinical commissioning group (CCG) but have now been told the job description will require a registered nurse who has already acquired a specific set of leadership skills. What skills are required and are development opportunities being made available to frontline primary care nurses to help us to develop these skills?
A: The role of the CCG board nurse will require leadership skills, experience of several areas of healthcare and seniority. The candidate should be a nurse who is respected and can bring a balanced opinion to the board. In the words of the RCN: 'the nurse should be someone with vision, presence, profile and impact.'
