Having recently completed a stint as Acting Director of Clinical Services for Albury Wodonga Private Hospital, Peter Newman is proof that perseverance pays off.

“I was first encouraged to apply for the Nursing Leaders of Tomorrow Program after an application I made for a DCS role wasn't accepted. But in that process, my leadership attributes were recognised and so I applied for and was accepted into the first round,” Peter said.

“I absolutely do think it's worthwhile applying. One, you obviously get noticed but two, it's for very good reason because you've done something significant within your career. It’s an excellent way of catapulting you to that next level.”

Harnessing his leadership potential through the program helped Peter into his first Acting Assistant DCS role at The Border Cancer Hospital.

“I certainly feel the program helped significantly because when we look at one of the main challenges associated with being a DCS, it certainly does centre around that leadership aspect. It's about understanding how to get the best out of your people, and the Nursing Leader of Tomorrow program gives you practical tools to be successful in the position.

“What you take out of it, you'll be able to put into practice the very next week or the very next day. Apply, you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
