Nurse team manager

Nurse team managers are nurses with care experience and managerial skills. Their main task is to plan, organise, manager and assess nurse care in the area for which they are responsible. They must manage sustained treatment and integrate care across their area, as well as managing the portfolio of nursing services assigned to them. As a result, they must effectively apply the necessary skills and techniques in order to ensure the highest standards of care and service, through training staff, improving work systems and optimising human and material resources. Their management should be based on the principle of shared responsibility, both in the coordination of managerial functions and in the achievement of results. Where performing a managerial role, they require solid leadership skills and influence, in order to facilitate their participation in the fundamental aspects of healthcare services. They can work in a range of places (hospital units, primary care clinics, nursing clinics and homes, among others), with various levels of responsibility, depending on their position and the area of which they are placed in charge (general management, head of EAP - the Professional Nursing School -; head of SAP - pre-hospital nursing -; area manager, supervisor, etc.)
