“…The data set was then further refi ned by excluding duplicates, hand searching reference lists for any studies missed in the electronic search, and including only original research reports (Figure 1). We felt it was important to ensure that at least one of the Johansson, Sandahl, & Andershed, 2010), building healthy workplaces (Cummings et al, 2009;Fealy et al, 2011;Sherman & Pross, 2010), and ensuring optimal levels of job satisfaction and wellbeing among colleagues (Alimo-Metcalfe, Alban-Metcalfe, Bradley, Mariathasan, & Samele, 2008).

Effective clinical leadership is offered as the key to healthy, functional and supportive work environments for nurses and other health professionals. However, as a concept it lacks a standard definition and is poorly understood. This paper reports on an integrative review undertaken to uncover current understandings of defining attributes of contemporary clinical leadership in nursing. Data collection involved a search of relevant electronic databases for a 10-year period. Keywords for the search were 'clinical leadership' and 'nursing'. Ten research papers met the inclusion criteria for the integrative review. Analysis of these studies indicated clinical leadership attributes had a clinical focus, a follower/team focus or a personal qualities focus; attributes necessary to sustain supportive workplaces and build the capacity and resilience of nursing workforces. The small number of research-based studies yielded for the review indicates the need for further research in the area of clinical leadership.

A national clinical leadership development programme was instituted for Irish nurses and midwives in 2010. Incorporating a development framework and leadership pathway and a range of bespoke interventions for leadership development, including workshops, action-learning sets, mentoring and coaching, the programme was introduced at seven pilot sites in the second half of 2011. The programme pilot was evaluated with reference to structure, process and outcomes elements, including individual-level programme outcomes. Evaluation data were generated through focus groups and group interviews, individual interviews and written submissions. The data provided evidence of nurses' and midwives' clinical leadership development through self and observer-reported behaviours and dispositions including accounts of how the programme participants developed and displayed particular clinical leadership competencies. A key strength of the new programme was that it involved interventions that focussed on specific leadership competencies to be developed within the practice context.

“…Fealy et al . () describe clinical leadership as influencing and directing patient care at individual, team, departmental, and organizational levels, which neglects the important wider external context at national and international level, or ‘professional leadership’. Some writers only refer to clinical leadership (Humphreys et al .…”
