The importance of leadership and health policy training cannot be overemphasized. However, the widespread education and training of nurses about policy is yet to be realized. Moving nurses from being the recipients and implementers of health policy decisions to being leaders with a strong voice in the development or reform of policy will take concerted, strategic effort into the future. We argue that for nurses around the world to take their place at decision-making tables and to be rightfully engaged in policy, health reform and advocacy, nurse leaders need to provide them with access to well-thought-out policy training programmes. This access needs to be wide-ranging, from exposure to policy knowledge in undergraduate education to more specialized graduate programs focused in every specialization on some aspects of policy, through to a variety of continuing educational opportunities. 2019-09-16T12:59:07Z 2019-09-16T12:59:07Z 2019-01-01 Journal 14667657 00208132 2-s2.0-85070983259 10.1111/inr.12550 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=85070983259&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/66737
