The scope of this project was to create an online education program that provides clinical leaders with evidence-based concepts that underpin effective handover to improve patient safety. The education is designed to prepare and empower clinical leaders to critique existing and candidate clinical handover processes within their area of responsibility, and to positively influence clinical handover culture in the health care workforce. Leading Clinical Handover is aimed at health care professionals with managerial, team leader or advanced clinical responsibilities. This online course can be completed in short, 15 minute segments and gives clinicians the tools to improve the clinical handover processes, using evidence-based principles.Tool
