Who is the Delegation poster for?
Delegation belongs to the Nursing section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning professional practice can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Delegation poster?
You remain accountable for the decision to delegate, and for the supervision. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Delegation belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Delegation?
Clinical Governance, Confidentiality and Cultural Safety sit alongside Delegation in the Nursing section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Clinical GovernanceConfidentialityCultural Safety
Is the Delegation poster free to download and print?
Yes. Delegation downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Nursing section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Delegation poster print at?
Delegation is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Delegation loses nothing.Printing guide
