Task description:
This assessment requires you to apply leadership and learning skills, by reflecting on and thoughtfully responding to clinical scenarios. There are two parts, designed to allow feedback on your individual progress.
What you need to do:
Part one requires you to read through three scenarios (available on the assessment page under ‘Assessment Two’ link
Then read these three short stories in Gordon’s XXXXXXXXXXWhen chicken soup isn’t enough (available online as QUT li
ary eBook), and identify a single scenario that you find significant and challenges your thinking as a beginning health care professional.
4. P 6-8 “Saving Patients from Dr Death” by Toni Hoffman
5. P 24-27 “A comfortable cover up” by Jenny Kendall
6. P 59-60 “As if the patient can hear you” by Clarke Doty
XXXXXXXXXXChoose ONE of the six scenarios, then:
Write a short personal reflection (300 words maximum) that explores:
· Why you identify with that story as significant – personal values, assumptions and beliefs
· The issues raised for you and your professional development as a student health care professional, and
· How your prefe
ed leading and learning style might influence your response if faced with a similar situation in clinical practice
No references are required for Part One.
Part two builds on your short reflection (1000 words maximum):
Develop an action plan, supported with evidence-based literature, to address the issues raised for your personal development as a leader and learner.

· Develop and discuss clear strategies for each of the leadership challenges identified, supported with evidence-based literature (800 words)
· Draw some key conclusions about what you have learned from the unit assessment, including what you learned from the short personal reflection submitted as Part XXXXXXXXXXwords)
