This study explored their role in developing leadership skills among post-registration nursing students at a UK university. Methods: Strategy-based board games were introduced to promote team collaboration, strategic thinking and social interaction. Participants, enrolled in a district nursing programme, identified leadership skills during gameplay. Data were collected through questionnaires, written debriefs and group discussions. Results: Key themes included role awareness, decision making, conflict resolution and communication. Participants reported increased self-awareness, stronger leadership insight and improved teamwork and communication. Conclusions: Board games offer a practical, engaging approach to developing leadership skills in nursing education through active learning and team interaction. Implications for practice: Board gameplay encourages increased awareness of leadership styles and personality types, which impacts the quality of patient care, improves communication within teams and enhances staff morale, wellbeing and overall team performance. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
