Course programme

You are normally seconded or sponsored by a Primary Care Trust to study for this pathway. You will focus on educational issues that are related to school nursing, public health and primary healthcare. The course is 50 % theory and 50% practice and so learning experiences also take place in a community setting. The programme steers strongly towards public health and health promotion, and is designed to encourage the empowerment of patients/clients. The theoretical modules are underpinned with evidence based practice and application to practice is highlighted throughout. Other key aspects of the course are interprofessional working, leadership and management and innovation.

The course will involve both assessments in theory and practical elements. Your theoretical assessments involve measuring academic knowledge which will underpin your professional practice. Practice assessments are aimed at measuring knowledge, skills, expertise and attitudes to ensure that an appropriate theory/practice balance is achieved.
