Since the challenges of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic, during which many nurses had to work in extreme circumstances and with limited resources, healthcare leaders have explored how they could better support nurses in the future. Admiral Nurses – who are supported by the charity Dementia UK to provide expert care and advice for people with dementia – have been offered coaching alongside their regular clinical supervision. In the workplace, coaching can be defined as a process that supports another person’s understanding, learning, behaviour and progress. Through coaching, nurses can develop their skills and address any negative attitudes and behaviours that may be affecting their work. This article focuses on how coaching techniques and skills might assist nurse leaders to support team members to improve care provision.
