The key objective of the peoples’ development proposal is to design a plan for a continuous
learning and development curriculum for the nurses, who are working in the medical centre of
Emerald. The plan will include the training and development options for the nurses in order to
supports them in their continual professional development regarding the aged care services.
Apart from this, the training and development program support the nurses in enhancing their
leadership skills and capabilities along with their career development (Fukada, 2018).
The Aged care Service Company Emerald has started a medical centre to provide necessary
medical services to the residents of this care service provider. It also recruited nurses to provide
the required care services to the residents of the aged care services. However, the nurses are
experienced nurses qualified and skilled, but they did not have adequate experiences in providing
aged care services. The undertaken organization Emerald is an aged care services providers
company and hence, the nurses have to provide required aged care services to the customers of
the organization (Halarie, 2019). The nurses should have adequate knowledge, skills and
experiences to handle the issues regarding the aged care services. Therefore, it is important to
provide the nurses with appropriate learning and development programs. The objective of the
proposal is to prepare an efficient training and development plan for the nurses of the
organization (Nolan, Davies and Brown, 2008).
