• health professionals
• consumers
• executives

3. What are the mechanisms for engaging with the organisations priorities

4. What methods are in place for ensuring accountability for practice

5. Consider a particular leadership skill you want to develop

6. Relate it to one of the many health & safety standards in your area of practice such as:
